I've got a 1973 shovel custom that has me baffled!
The bike will run and charge great for 3to4 days and then all of a sudden something is killing the battery to the point that it won't even charge, I replaced stator and voltage reg plus completely rewired it thinking I had a dead short but hasn't fixed it. I've killed three batt so far and pulled out most of my hair!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
