2007 Ultra Classic FLHTCUI engine intermitenly cuts off. Lights and accessories remain on. Guages fluctuate. Engine refires immediately. Happenned a dozen or so times in last couple days. Any Ideas

Check your positive cable at the starter motor. Mine frayed aft of the clamp and I had the same symptoms. Noticed most when hitting bumps in the road.
You can check it by jiggling the cable at the starter. don't shock yourself though.

Would that not cause starter problems too? Op says it fires normal immediately

It happened to me twice, both times I had no starting problems. Also the attachment was tight at the starter.
Just thought I'd throw it out there.

I have a 2007 street glide went to go on a ride today. the engine idles fine but when i hit the throttle the engine cuts off but doesnt die i let off the throttle and it idles fine again. if i ease into the throttle it does ok but sometimes sputters a little. I cleaned all my fuses and battery cables and about to go check fuel connection any ideas would be awesome.
