First thing I'd look at is the neutral safety switch, located on the transmission. Two wires.. Pretty sure there is one on the '07 model. Another thing I'd look at is the side stand switch, if you have one. It could be having a brain fart, and think the stand is down while the bike is in gear. Unlikely, but not impossible.

Do a search on IAC cleaning threads. My 2007 RoadGlide did that until I cleaned the Idle Air Control.

My 08 FLHTC would completely shut off when I hit the Resume switch. The shorted wire was rubbing against the bracket that held the stereo in place.

I have to clean my IAC twice a summer. With a stock air cleaner/filter I never had a problem. When I switched to a Screaming Eagle (Hi Po) filter, that's when my problems started. It takes a whole 40 mins to clean. Make sure to cycle the kill switch while you do it. Running high speeds during hot weather is when the problems start for me.
