    is this power as in electrical?..or power as in accleration?..or both?
    i had a problem a while back where the whole car would die on me whenever i flicked on my high beams, just for a second then go back to normal...
    ended up being my battery, so chucked a new one in and its never done it since.

    Check out your leads, and coil pack.

    Also, if you have an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser fitted make sure that it's behaving properly. I had something like that happen to my VN and it turned out that the immobiliser was cutting in while I was driving and taking out the left bank of the engine. It would idle on three cylinders but wouldn't move the car. All because of one dodgy connection.
