Default 04 E Glide chargeing problem

I've got an 04 E Glide that I've had about 3 years now. It has started to do something on me that I have no idea about. Sometimes not every time but once in a while when I start the bike the battery light will come on and the volt meter will read about 11 volts. As I'm riding it will suddenly start to charge and the battery light will go out. It did it a couple of times last year but now it is doing it more. and taking longer to go out . Like I said it's not happening every time, but I don't want to get out on a long trip and get stranded. Is it the Voltage Reg , stator or something else? Any ideas would be helpful

How old is the battery? Check the connections and make sure they're tight. Do a proper voltmeter test at the battery and rule out the gauge.
