He had mentioned to me that the HD service department (who had it last checking it), checked the grounds (not the one in the fairing though). Don't really know if I believe that they did though as this is the same dealer that said his battery (his original one) was bad but yet reinstalled it when they couldn't find any problems with his trike.

When he arrived back in town on Friday, we rode out to our local bike rally (Thunder Beach) and in less than 32 miles of total riding, his MIL came on along with his Battery "charge" indicator.

They came on at the last stop we made and we walked around for about an hour before riding back home (15 more miles) without any further issues.

I told him that the regulator should be replaced due to the issues that have been arising with quality control issues that are resulting in the "MIL and Battery" indicators to come on and storing his "Battery Low Voltage" code. I told him that they should change out his battery, the one that they tested bad, since there is only 5000 miles on his 6 month old Tri Glide.

The battery that I installed in his Trike (original post), that the dealer said was bad also, resulting in him giving my battery back to me for a refund, has been in my personal 06 Ultra Classic and operating fine ever since.
