Based on information provided it is reading like:
Bike is charging
The battery is able to accept a charge
Battery is UNABLE to maintain a charge.
Consider a battery load test.
Then a parasitic drain test using a digital meter between negative battery post and disconnected negative battery cable would be a final test.
An aftermarket alarm or some solenoid clicking could drain a battery and the parasitic drain test would help investigate that situation.

a" genuine harley davidson battery" isn't necessary. the bike doesn't know what the label on the battery says. any brand battery that is the right size and amps will work in the bike. the last battery i bought doesn't say "harley davidson" on the side of it and it's going on 9 years old.
