My 05 super glide is causing me to pull my hair out!!! first off my speedo just quits working, the entire thing no lights, no dumb dumb lights, no speed/mph nothing works. The neutral light, oil light, high beam light and turn signal lights that are just below the speedo work but nothing in the speedo works! A week later my horn quits working a few days after that my headlight quit working!! Oh yeah and my battery will not stay charged, full charge dies in a day or two.

What do you think? Could this be a voltage regulator problem?

 

Sounds like there is a short in your wiring harness somewhere.

 

Voltage regulator, stator, or rotor; those are your choices. With the pathetic shoddy construction of the mid 2000 rotors I'd wonder if a magnet didn't come off the rotor and nick the stator wiring; she's trying but just can't keep up. Follow the SM and test out the voltage regulator and the stator...

 

Whenever you have random, seemingly unrelated issues...start by cleaning all your grounds.

 

And be sure the voltage regulator is plugged in. Had that happen to me once on a new Duc. Wasn't installed properly at the factory and wiggled its way loose.
About a month ago, coming home, I saw a guy on a dresser ride off the road and thru a field. I turned around to see if he was okay. When I got there, a guy in a well kept old muscle car was there too. We pushed him out of the field to a gravel drive. His bike wouldn't start. He looked down and found that his regulator's connector popped off on his motocross adventure. Turns out he was drooling at the muscle car pulling out of the driveway and ran clean off the road and into the field. Props to him for riding it out without wrecking!

 

Any blown fuses? Do they go out or get really dim, and then come back as battery charges or voltages goes up?

I would focus on charging problem. The rest may just be a result of that.


Could be stator, could be a volt reg, could be a battery. This will require some technical effort on your part, if you want to do it yourself/


Also first thing to always check is battery connections, easy to do, and surprising how often the loosen, just a hair

Never heard of dum dum lights.

 

Props???? The guy drove into the corn field, cause he was a bad rider.

 

Thanks guys, Im headed out to work on it now!
