Default 2012 Touring Owners... Have You Had Voltage Regulator Problems? (Yes or No Poll)

I'm kind of interested in this issue because I don't see how it can only be 2012's and not some 2011's with the 103". Maybe its a bad batch, maybe it will become a recall....and maybe its .01% of people that own 2012's that happen to write about it on this forum....

So its a simple yes or no, and please post the milage!

I purchased a 2012 Ultra Classic EG. I had problems with the charging system. It would charge on and off while riding. I took it back to the dealer and they kept it for 8 days waiting to get to it. They replaced the voltage regulator. I still had intermittent problems with
it. I did not want to give it back to the dealer and let is sit for another week so I started to check out everything on the bike. I found two ground wires extremely loose under the seat deep down in the frame. This was the real issue. Maybe others with charging problems have
the same issue, and not the voltage regulator.
