Well when the bike running it charging at the battery at 14.5 so the system is good. I did think it was regulator but with it being at a constant 14.5 it's working. I looked at the stator plug and it doesn't looked burnt out. (Some pics I've seen is the male ends start to blacken). I came to the conclusion it was the battery for when I pulled it of the battery tender it was at 13.5 Then it was steadily dropping .1-.2 pretty quick till it got to 12.8 then over night it drop down to 12.1-.2 hovering and did a load test/start the bike and wouldn't turn over or start. New battery started just fine. been in over night haven't been out to check it.

Those are good numbers for your charging system.
Go get a good battery and try again.
Just so you know when I say good I don't mean the cheapest piece of **** you can find.

You and me both but some people go and buy the cheapest thing they can find and then wonder why it doesn't last.
If you want something to last you have to be willing to spend a little money!

Nothing wrong with a good old sealed batt. They will perform just fine.
The newer stuff is cool but they come with newer problems .
Be aware of the newer stuff as they require new type. chargers etc. $$$
A decent Harley approved aftermarket battery will last you many years and the cost / appraisal is much better than the new matts. stuff etc.
Its your choise.
