I put in a new battery which went dead after a few hours of riding. The bike started when jumped and ran OK except the speedometer didn't work and the lights were dim.

If you jumped it from a car you likely destroyed your stator.

How do you charge Harley battery?

If it's a factory-installed sealed battery, charge it at 10 amps for 1 hour or charge it at 2 amps for 5 to 10 hours. If in doubt, use an automatic charger. For even better results, keep the bike on a battery tender whenever it's parked, which cannot overcharge the battery. A fully charged sealed Harley battery should read no less than 12.8 volts a minimum of two hours after charging. Any less voltage means the battery is failing and will eventually need to be replaced.
