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.

I heard from my sister's friend's cousin's uncle who knows a guy whose brother works as a janitor for HD that they are introducing a whole new set of problems in the 2013 builds to take the heat off of any issues that are on the 2012s, so just wait a while and the 2012s will be the ones to have with all the 2013 junk coming out.

If you ever find yourself in Missouri, Sedalia, Columbia or Jefferson City, check out Bandana's BBQ. The one here in K.C. is OK but not great.
