Kyle:
If you own a volt meter hook it up . Try to catch the voltage when the
lights start flashing. That way you "might be able to"  eliminate the
charging system , or not. You might not catch a momentary drop out
though.  A "shaky"  brush in the alternator could cause this.  I had a
similar problem. I found a new regulator with brushes for $12 at a
alternator repair shop. I never saw the symptom again. 
 Also, check the ground clusters behind the fuse box for corrosion.
Good Luck
