Okay so playing around with another r/r I have around 122 ohms at 12.62 volts and as I increased voltage ohm reading went down then went OL when I got close to 14 volts

Strange. It should be doing the opposite. We want resistance to increase as voltage increases. OL is OK as voltage gets past a certain point, but we should have low resistance at low voltage and resistance increasing as voltage increases.
I'll take a quick video of my setup when I get back to the shop later today.
Okay I took some video of the three I have the first is the original, second is one I just got a week and a half ago and third is new bought in January thinking I wouldn't have a problem once the bike was running
Ohm readings between each of the yellow wires and the negative terminal of the battery?
Also, with the alternator cover removed from the engine, ground out the white wire from the alternator and put 12V from the battery to the black wire. This should energize the field coil and it should be strong enough to hold up a 10mm wrench.
No. You can disconnect it. We're just checking to make sure that none of the yellow wires from the alternator are grounded. If you're able to get a reading between any of the yellow wires and ground, then there's a problem with the alternator.

Sounds the field coil is non-functional or there might be an issue with the brushes. Double check that everything is assembled correctly and, if so, contact the manufacturer and see what they recommend.

So I'm sitting here thinking out loud to myself if the alt cover is removed how is 12 volts supplied to the rotor? Or was I just supposed to loosen the cover ?
