I have same issue with 2001 curvey, Alternator coils checked out, but battery and the bike die after 20 ish miles.
In the end I had faulty alternator coil, which shorted when hot, the lacquer insulation on the coils had small cracks which opened up to create an electrical short path.

After fitting a new alternator and cover gasket I had a problem with the bike stalling at junctions or traffic lights.
As the fuel tank had been moved to remove and re-route the new alternator harness it is common to trap the fuel tank breathers, which can also cause the bike to stall when idling, as in my case.
