charging system help, problem ive been working on with progress but no cigar

Not exactly. Yellow in the stock configuration comes from the stator and is AC voltage. Black in the stock loom is switched 12V DC. I follow your logic, but the question now is what are those leads connected to?
When you re-routed the leads from the stator did you pull them all out and start again or did you just patch into the old wires and leave most of it in teh loom? That's really what we need to know. I'd like to see your wiring with the three leads from the stator as a new bundle of cables on their own going just to the R/R connector block. Is that what you did or did you splice into the loom?
When you can get to the bike, test those black and yellow leads in the loom (disconnected) to see when they have power, off/on/running and what the voltage is and if they are DC or AC.
Or strip the loom and physically follow them back and find out where they go.

i made completely new connectors for the wires.
pulled them out of the stock harness connectors and made an independent connector straight from the stator into the rectifier then the same with the regulator wires. regulator straight into regulator connections at bike.
nothing is spliced, all have their own connectors......
so there should be no power there when off correct?

Not exactly :-(
What I'm reading is that you made a nice new connector but the wires just appeared out of the loom where they used to be. What I want to see is the wires from the stator in your hand made into a new short loom going directly to the R/R just like a modern bike.
The white pink and yellow leads would all come from the alternator directly to that new plug and would not touch the old loom at all at any time in any way. Do you see what I'm getting at?

kmoto, i just saw the mark ups you did on the sketch up, you mention that yellow is ac, but since im bypassing the stock wires, not connecting the stator into the harness, wouldnt all the voltage in those wires be dc now?
so just run the red wire straight to the + battery terminal and bolt it in using a loop ground style connector?
and whoa there is alot of info here now, .... lol

i totally get what your saying teazer, ive taken the shifter cover off and also when ive had the stator in my hand, the wires are gray, light green and white, they lead up to the harness connector, and only after that connector do they turn pink white and yellow.
i wasnt able to get to it until pretty late last night for a little while, but i hooked it up matching up the colors as it should, and its charging, up to about 14.2 volts tops, then it got confusing because after a little while of that the voltage would maintain in the 12's, so i started over anylizing everything lol, giving myself a brain cramp, until my dad showed up, and said "dude, its a regulator man, it does that so you dont boil your battery remember, itl let more power in when it needs" ... and well, i felt pretty dumb lol. I guess i was just over anylizing way to much at the moment.
