Default Charging system

The charging system on my 06 Superglide is screwed. Is Harley making cheap foreign sh*t parts these days too? I was coming home from Sioux Falls late Sat night when the battery light came on. Pulled over and shut it off, wouldn't start. Pushed it a few blocks and the next day put in a battery. Made it home and same thing when I got there. Battery light on and will not start. You pay 13 grand for junk these days. Really pisses me off.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
By the way, one of the guys' doo rag blew off his head going there and I scooped it up with my left boot at 70 MPH. Then I reached down and grabbed it from my boot. I have a witness. It was pretty funny.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;

So if the stators are coming apart isn't HD going to recall them? I thought I heard a really bad noise right before it happened but I thought it was coming from the car next to me. What bullsh*t.

there aren't any recalls about the stator/regulator, but I had the same problem last year, fixed under warranty with a new stator/rotor kit, improved, without bolts. (the bolts had broken and caused the problem)

I can't help but wonder how widespread this problem is with the 06's. You know if you ask someone in the dealer service dept about it, they'll get that blank look&nbsp\\;on their face&nbsp\\;as if they've never heard of it.[:@]
