Voltage spikes

This might be discussed somewhere else if so I apologize ahead of time.i recently purchased a used 06 street glide the bike runs great,but as I'm riding I noticed the voltage gauge would spike and drop and the radio will shut off then back on but nothing else.i went thru and tested the charging system and found nothing out of spec.every time it does it I get code b1006 any ideas

Change the failing component ASAP to avoid further damage to your electrical system.

It's hard to diagnose an intermittent problem. But, IMHO an out of range (high) voltage condition is 90% certain an intermittent voltage regulator.

Michael,
Welcome to the forum. I think you're on the right track, B1006 is Accessory line Voltage over 16V for 5 seconds. Like nhrider1 said allowing the bike to run with the higher voltage could damage the battery and/or the stator.
Enjoy the new bike.

also check your connections on the battery, positive and negative, both ends. a loose connection can also cause a spike like you describe. It may be worthwhile to have the battery tested also ,a plate shorting out intermittantly could also cause your symptoms. Since you tested the charging system , and it appears ok , it the battery and connections check out would look for a intermittent short.
