Well,  I checked the battery terminals. They were good and tight, the cables are good and the ground strap is tight to the frame. 

I wiggled the ignition switch and connections with no results. 

Then I drilled the rivets out of the cam cover so I could take a look at the non points system inside. To my surprise, there wasn't a cam position sensor like Rigidthumper showed. Instead, I found what I believe is an electronic ignition module. I will post a photo if I can figure out how to do that. 

It may be possible that it's a tank venting issue but, just a few days ago,  I this bike at 70mph for more than 2 hours trying to get an ideal of fuel mileage (37mpg) with no issues. I would think it would have choked at that time if it were a vent issue. However, it does have what I believe to be aftermarket caps so, I guess it is possible. 

There should be instructions that state which ring type is top and second, as well as what coating if any is top or second. There should also be instruction showing in what orientation if it matters is up.

Below is from their V-Twin (Harley Davidson) catalog. The rings should have a type listed on their package, GFX, VM, VQ, etc.

Friend got a set of WISECO pistons for a 107. They don't give really good instructions on the top and second rings. There is a black ring and a silver ring which one goes where?

Here are two more things I have encountered causing this type of problem.
 First is a fuel cap that is not venting. I've seen it a lot on older Softails. When the engine starts to falter, unscrew the cap and see if it clears up.
 The other thing is having some water in the fuel. If you bought gas while the tanker is dropping fuel at the gas station or shortly afterwards, it's not unusual to get contaminated fuel. The fuel drop process stirs up all the crud and water that was laying in the bottom of the storage tank.
 There is one gas station in my neighborhood where I absolutely will not buy gas. I have had fuel problems more than once after buying gas there. I don't think they maintain their tanks.

I have used puppy pee pads to catch oil and antifreeze. Might be worth a try.

I have tried all those devices, what works best for me I learned from Tweekmytwin "Jim" laying a diaper below the filter and it absorbs the oil without leaking beyond the diaper.

Seems like it may have been a leak in the intake seal. I reseated the throttle body last night and I did not experience the issue this morning. 

Added changing the fuel filter to my to do list next.

I use a piece of cardboard ripped and creased to fit.

Sure looks nice. What heads S&S ?
