You can feel the power cutting in and out really badly as you take off. Its sometimes worse than other times and sometimes it seems like the engine might cut out completely.

Check your plugs (visually) & check your leads (with an ohmmeter) & then the coil. We've had a lot of coil failures on VN-VS V8 in my workshop, & they're a mongrel to ac

I assume its OK on the flat or no load, but maybe on hills of accel it just looses it ? Buy some genuine GMH leads. Its easy work, you wont have to pull anything apart, and you'll know straight away.
