low charging voltage
Hello,
 \\;
I have a 98 Electra Gluide 1340 EVO EFI, my problem is low charging voltage, forget the guage in the dash because I already found it to be incorrect, voltage at idle drops below the 12.6 battery voltage, and at 2000 rpms will only just go over 13 volts. \\; This test is with high quality DVOM. \\; Is this the norm for this older bike, or are they known to have voltage regulator problems.
 \\;
Just for info this is pretty much a stock FLHTCI, and the only thing added was the original owner had Harley add the rear speakers and amp. \\; Nothing else to draw additional voltage.
 \\;
Thanks in advance
 \\;
