cutout/stumble on an MC engine

I have a slight problem that so far has never happened
to me.  At 3/4 to full throttle and between 3500 and
5000 rpm the engine will cutout for less than 1 second
and then recover like nothing is wrong.  Any ideas? 
Plugs, wires, cap and rotor are all brand new stock. 
Injectors, filter and pump are also new or nearly new.
 It just seems to drop dead, but for less than a
second.  It only happens once on any hard acceleration
pass.  Never at an exact rpm.  Please throw some
suggestions my way.  BTW, I'm loving the fuel mileage.
 It had been dropping for a while.  New injectors and
ignition components seem to have worked wonders.  175
miles to 3/4 of a tank and 500-600 per fill. 
Indicated mileage between 25 and 31 on the highway
with some seriously hard driving.  Also no more 10
sec. crank time.  Sometimes it starts instantly, other
times on the second or third revolution.

Thanks
Jim Accordino
