Losing Battle
I have a 2007 Sportster XL 1200 Custom and it all started with the battery dieing all the time, so I changed out the Voltage Regulator and then replaced the battery and still after riding for a day, the next morning the bike is dead again so I took it to the harley shop and they changed out my stater and re chargers the battery and everything else, got the bike home the next day and took it off the trailer it wouldnt start, so I went and got a new battery and was able to ride it for one day and the next morning I had no power. does anyone else know where I can go from here?

i would guess you have corrosion issue with your relays and fuse blok. clean all fuses and replace or clean the 2 relays and then repack with dialetic grease and you should be good to go. 07's have a water intrusion issue in the fuse block. do a search and you will see lots of posts on this. your relay is bad and is causing something to cycle while your bike sits. I cant remember the name of the parts but you should be able to hear a faint whirring noise every 10 or 20 seconds while your bike is sitting without running. very faint.

You have a short somewhere that's draining the battery .... You could try pulling fuses and then replace them one by one to narrow down which circuit has the problem. Do you have a volt meter and a service manual? ...hows your troubleshooting skills?
