Sorry first forum. After it dies there is plenty of juice left in battery but wont fire up until it sits for a while.

Take a look here, next time it acts up blow some cool air over the cover and see if it starts up # 22 below

If following Jack's lead doesn't produce results, check the main circuit breaker and connections. Or just replace it; it is a $12 part.
 
It is not uncommon for the ignition module on your year of sportster to cause that kind problem when it gets warm as jack said spray the ignition module cover with spray duster as air comes out of it really cold if bike then works ok for a wee bit then you know that you need a new ignition module
