Default special construction

I have a softtail built after th 93-99 harley. After she runs for awhile she starts to cutout and die.If your on the road she will come back on with a backfire, once you shut her off she wont start back up until like an hour later. I replaced coil, still no luck .Anyone with any ideas?
