Default Voltage Guage acting funny...

So I've got a 2011 Street Glide with 9,000 miles on it.
I've noticed lately that the voltage gauge is acting a little strange.
When I turn on the key it reads 14v, but when I'm riding it will sometimes read 16v and sometimes it pegs out like it's getting too much voltage.

Any thought if this could be the voltage regulator or the gauge itselt.

It's still under warranty so I'll be taking it in as soon as I can get to the shop.

Just thought I would pick your guys brains on this one.

Thanks for the help,

if you would like to troubleshoot it Dr. Hess has a very good tutorial.
