FWIW I never trust what a previous owner tells me unless it is a good friend.

OK update : went out to recheck everything. looks like im getting about 13 volts at idle about 11-1200rpm and looks like 14 at 2500 rpm. so it all looks good until i turn on the turn signals then all bets are off...lol. im betting my LED conversion later this week will all but fix that.

If you are having problems when you turn on your turn signals then you will still have the problem if you put in LEDs.
Personally I'm thinking a magnet shifted on your rotor assembly or you simply have some very dirty contacts.
It could be several things but without testing you'll never know.
Good luck.

the harley volt meters on the dash are notorious for being inaccurate. the meter on my 85 is all over the place all the time. i check my voltage with a hand held meter and every time i check it's different than the meter on the dash.
