2005 Heritage battery problem

Just purchased 2005 FLSTC, 2 days later battery died. Purchased new battery. Bike ran fine for about 30 miles, after stopping for a drink battery was almost dead. Got it running and on way home check engine and battery lamp lights came on. After a couple of miles headlights and speedometer died.

Have completely recharged battery, when I put meter between positive lead and battery I see it's drawing current.
Pulled all fuses and seems to still be drawing.

Any ideas were to go next??? All help appreciated.

Check voltage on battery when bike is running should be 13+.

Your alternator or voltage regulator is probably bad. There is a procedure to check both in the service manual.
