Bike: 89 Ultra

The voltmeter at speeds above about 600 RPM reads 13 volts with lights on and 14 volts with lights off. No Problem, Right.. When I put the brake on, the voltmeter drops below 12 volts (i mean way below like 9-10 volts). When I take the brake off voltmeter stays low but moves back to 13v when I goose her. The turn signal when engaged causes the voltmeter to dip below 12 volts at signal frequency . Is this normal or is this a sign of a regulator problem??? I have a lot of trouble with the battery going dead after a long park, but when I disconnect battery hot lead the battery will hold its charge. Could these problems be related?

At first i wanted to say it was just a clicking sound but have since realized its more of a tapping sound since its its in between a click and a knock. A screw driver works well but if ya really want to find out where the sound is coming from take a few bucks and find a walgreens or other medical place and buy...
