Question 2000 fatboy engine light problems

The last few rides for about the first fifteen to twenty minutes my engine light comes on, speedo locks out at last known speed, the odometer goes away, and the lights get brighter. At first i was told that it was the speed sensor. Pulled it out cleaned it up, replaced and all was good. Then the next morning same story did same thing as before. But this time it took about ten minutes to come back. Just tired of guessing about it and need guidance. Thanks.

My '00 Fatboy was doing the same thing and I got the same advice with the same results. Now I need a regulator, main circuit breaker, headlight and maybe speedo. Moral of the story is test that voltage regulator as soon as possible
