This seems to be a way over the top over voltage situation that can trash your ride for a long time if you're out of warranty. If electricity is still a mystery to you please don't participate. I need so answers for those who have experienced failed alternators fried can buses and loss of lights for no explainable reason.
What do the guys on the RT tech forum board think it is???

You might wanna check the battery connection... If it is bad/loose the alternator could be sending voltage spikes to all things electrical.
Voltage regulator could be over charging too. You do know not to touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers when replacing bulbs..
