My first guess is the stator or regulator, I'm assuming it was cranking fine which should mean the battery's ok...

Second thought is to check all the wiring in the stator area for corrosion and then to check and double check ALL of your grounds. You'd be amazed at what kind of problems a poor ground can cause.
