2001 FLHRCI (Road King Classic) lights dim and bike dies while riding

I recently purchased a used 2001 Road King Classic. I've had it on a trickle charger for the last 2 months during the winter in Chicago. I've been starting it regularly every couple days. Well needless to say, the weather broke this weekend and I went for a ride. I got about a mile from my house and the headlight started to dim and get bright again. After about a block of doing this the bike died and I had to push it home. I checked the battery with a voltmeter and it was low. I put the charger back on and tried it again in the morning - it started right up. I turned it off and then tried to start it again and all I heard was the clicking of the starter.

Does this sound like a battery issue, a starter issue or a short? As far as I know, there is no alternator on a bike, so not too sure about that route. I will have to have the bike towed to a Harley shop if I can't figure it out. Any suggestions on how to determine the cause without towing it? I am very mechanical and have a mechanic for a neighbor, just never worked on Harley's before......

Inspect regulator clean tight connections are important.use an ohmeter one lead on
regulator base and other ongood ground. connector plug at crankcase clean and tight
be sure regulator is connected to battery. unplug regulator at crankcase use trouble
lite and touch one lead to a good ground and other lead to regulator pins one at a
time if lite glows replace regulator.
