Default My 2000 fxst dies while driving.

Hi guys my 2000 fxst is carburated and as I drive down the road it dies like I hit the kill switch. I lose no electrical power . It has happened 3 times already. The first time was within 15 mins of riding then it started after 5 mins. I did hit all my switches and turned it off and on and it started. After that I drove it for a couple hours with no problems. The second time was within the same amount of time. I can't remember what all I did then it started and just took it home. The third time I turned it off then back on and it started after that. If anyone has any ideas that would be great. I checked the main ignition switch seems to be okay clean and good connections. Doesn't run funny just dies.
