Default No electrical power when cold.

My friend has a 92 Dyna that loses all electrical power when it is cold. The bike runs fine at start up, but will quit while running down the road. No headlight, no warning lights, (No electricity to anything). After a few seconds power will come back on and all is well for the moment. Once the bike is warmed up everything is fine no electriacal problems what so ever.
We have checked battery, and all electrical connections, everything appears to be okay.

Any Ideas?????

Thanks

Sounds like a main breaker problem, possibly a bad connection when it's cold due to contraction of the metal contact when cold. Check the connections on the breaker and then the ignition switch if not that.
