Default 75 xlch charging issues???

I have an old ironhead rode yesterday ran great. Left on it to drive to work and it ran fine till my last few miles. At that point I noticed the headlights Was dim then bike just shut down. Coasted to stop checked wires see if anything was loose. Everything looked good. Turned key on kicked it. She fired up and ran great for 1/2 mile then fell dead. Again Coasted to stop. Waited a couple minutes turned on she fired back up I let it idle after three minutes or so lights went dim she died. Any ideas? Gen reg bat???
