first thing is have your battery checked. it may be bad. along the same line it could be a short in the electrical system causing the positive post to short and you may not have your clamps tight enough. i would recommend having your battery tested first. autozone does it for free and so does napa.

What happens when you overcharge a 2001 harley softail?

Depends on if you unhooked the battery and what charger you use. Charging any installed motorcycle battery is a bad idea unless the charger is made to do so. It can destroy the charging system. The safest way to charge any motorcycle battery is to remove it completely and charge in a controlled environment. A burnt out stator, regulator and various other burnt electrical system items can result. You should also never jumb off a motorcycle using a car. Just overcharging the battery by itself can cause warped cells, case melting and could cause an explosion.
