Over the last 6 months I have been getting my 1974 Norton running. Everything runs great now, but the one issue I am having is my battery keeps dieing, when the battery is fully charged I have no prolems, but if I go on a long ride at the end of the ride the little Red Lite on the left of the headlight starts flickering when I am ideling, and bike starts running a little rougher, I will then try to use the blinker or horn and they do not work proper (The blinker sticks on, and the horn clicks, it does not honk when the battery is dead).
I tested the alternator, and got all the proper voltage readings out of it, it should be charging the battery, so then I thought well maybe it is the battery, so I went and had the battery tested and they said it was a good battery and was holding a charge (3 day test). Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do next to figure out why my Norton's battery keeps dieing? Any advice would be helpful.
