No power/Bike stalls while giving throttle.
So just like the title says, when I ride my 01 Fatboy, I can get about 5 minutes down the road, engine pops on turns off then when throttling the bike seems as if it is not getting any fuel and will stall out or just have 0 power.
I just had the intake seals replaced, complete fluid change, and reset the bikes brain by taking it off the battery for about 30 minutes, reconnecting it and letting idle for about 10 minutes. Issue is still present.
Now for the strangest part of it all, if i'm driving and do not have to stop the engine will come on turn off, bike will not get power/stall out if i try to go faster, but if i cruise the engine light will come back on turn off and the issue is gone for the rest of the ride. Once I restart the bike from sitting for a while the issue starts all over.
Please help!

Junk spark plugs? Any time I have these symptoms on anything ive owned ill clean my carb and do new plugs and it Usualy works. But I suspect your injected so carb clean won't work. Perhaps do a fuel system cleaner and dry gas. May have picked up some moisture over the winter.

Dry gas is this stuff that eats up water that gets into fuel systems. If the bike has sat for more than a year the fuel itself may be garbage. The new gas doesn't age well and will leave a nasty green film in everything and make it run like crap.

Reaper's carbed, but I've read plenty of threads relating to FI, and a very common problem is the fuel line inside the tank developing a pinhole leak, thus starving the bike for fuel while riding. You might want to take a peak at that.
