Default Power loose when lights are turned on.

I have a 1989 FLST Softail. When running with the lights off it runs great, but when I turn on the lights it starts to bog and surge, and at times back fire. I have changed the ignition and battery. I am going to look at the circuit breakers next. Has anyone else out there had this problem? Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you,

Thank you,
Look at the charging system. It sounds like it is having trouble keeping the battery fully charged.
