Stator / Rotar. ? Advice
Battery and check engine lights came on my 06 Wide Glide. Checks I have made. After full charge of battery standing shows 13.0 volts Ign on drops to 12.45 Running. 12.37. Nothing coming out of stator. I think I read on hear a bad battery can damage a Stator not sure if I. Have a single p
Piece rotor. Is there. A better afttermarket stator if its bad, & will they work with stock rotor. Getting ready to tear down more info soon

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Got really lucky though. When I reached my destination (the start for a charity ride), the battery had run down to the point where it wouldn't restart, but I happened to be about 200 feet from the indy shop I usually go to.
Didn't stay long enough to find out if the stator is working (they wanted to charge the battery before checking). Known stator issues on that year, but I'm hoping it's just the voltage regulator. Or maybe I'm not, because it would probably be a good idea to replace the stator anyway.

After 3 stator failures in the first 57,000 miles, I replaced the charging system with a CompuFire 3 phase 40 amp charging system. ( Fall 2009.)
The bike just went past 131,000 miles last week and its still in there. ( Cycle Electric makes one too.)

Your numbers show that your charging system is not working. It could be your stator or voltage regulator, or both. It would seem that if it is the rotor, then it has mechanically failed and there will be debris from it in your primary.
The output of the stator/rotor should be ~30-40 vac...you will read very little, if any, dc volts.
Use an ohmmeter to check the stator. The correct reading is for continuity (short) between the terminals and infinity (open) between each terminal and ground.
You can also use an ohmmeter to check the voltage regulator if you are familiar with what the resistance of a diode junction looks like forward and reversed biased. The book gives decent instructions on how to do this.
Good luck and get back with what you find.

If you do find that the stator is bad, replace it with the 2007 model, but you will need the stator and rotor for the '07 as neither year piece will work with the other.
I would also do the baker IPB too...in fact, that is exactly what I did when i had the primary opened up.

Also, does the Baker inner primary bearing index the primary to the transmission somehow, to make up for the missing locating pins? Or is it just a better bearing somehow, that will also tolerate misalignment better?

Do you know if the HD 2006 replacement part has been fixed and can be used? Or do they just list the same part number as the 2007, and have you purchase a rotor too?

If the replacement part is just the rotor, then I imagine it is an improved version that fits the '06 stator only...

Update
Stator and rotor are fried. All 8 bolts on rotor came out. How do you get the wire harness to regulator out ? My dyna has a large deutch connector. Still wanting options other than hd. Also thre are scour marks very close together all the way around the cluch pack stright lines running fron to back about 1/2 long ,not around ,can someone explain this?
