I would think that because this thread is 4 years old, that you are going to be ok!

I had the voltage regulator replaced on my 2012 Road King at no charge in the summer of 2012 under this program. The letter says the no cost offer expires on June 11, 2014.

Voltage
I read a thread on here a few days ago, that I can't find now, that said if the voltage is low it is the stator and if the voltage is high it is the voltage regulator. Removing the derby cover and smelling will tell you if the stator is toast. The voltage gauge jumping up will tell you it's the voltage regulator.

Pull the engine the trouble codes. That can help give you a direction to look.
I have had a HD tech/service manager tell me high voltage is regulator, low voltage is stator.

So I see this has popped up again. However, the last two weeks I am having issues again. Pulled in the garage this afterrnoon with under 8 volts on the gauge. Was sweating it for sure. Of course, mine was replaced years ago under warranty, but the dealership is stating that this counts for the service bulletin. So, I figured that mine was replaced so early, that thy must have an updated unit to install now. Of course, the new one is $200 at the dealership.
I have looked at some on the web, and found one on Ebay for under $90, but I am just not sure. Does anyone know how to test one? I looked in the service manual, and it only give replacement instructions, not troubleshooting.
