'86 FJ1200 dies/won't restart

Hello, all-

I've had intermittent issues with this over the years, and today was the last straw. When I'm rolling along, doing maybe 80/85/(90?) mph for a sustained period of time, the bike will just crap out. It's like someone turned off the key, not a sputtering, bucking, out-of-gas type stall. Today it was on the freeway in the SF Bay Area, and I was fortunate enough to have enough speed on to coast off the freeway. 4 or 5 minutes later, I would have been on a 4 lane bridge. I used to suspect a fuel venting problem, but today, after getting the bike out of the shop, I left the fuel cap cracked open just to rule this out.

What's next? Coil? CDI box? Anything will be appreciated.
