Default What's the right running voltage?

My Road Glide reports 14.3 steady at cruise, and no less then 14.2 at idle. My Low Rider shows .1 v lower at both. 14.2 at cruise and 14.1 at idle.

Is that right? They both are 2016 so I'm expecting nothing is worn out re: stator, so I'm wondering if that's ok. No extra draw, in fact LED's everywhere on both.

Thanks.

Edit: voltage is reported by Power Vision batt + gauge on both.

Sounds right to me. Our bikes both run close to 14.5 V down the road. The Electrical Manual is pretty vague and basically says 13 - 15 is normal above 2k rpm.
Nice looking Bikes.
