Tried grounding the rec/reg to the frame ended up blowing a fuse. I think I need help with my connections under the headlight. There is no power going to my brushes. This leads me to believe there is something connected wrong. What do you think?

Don't quite know what it means but today I tested the reg side with a vom and there is power coming through the brown wire that connects to blue from the rec/reg with the switch on.
There is no power reaching my stator though. When I turn the key the green and black connections coming from the stator I get no voltage. Starting to loose my mind. Does anyone know of someone in the Orlando area that could help me out face to face?

OK I have the battery on the charger. Before so with it around 11.6 volts I did some probing. With the key on and the engine stop switch engaged the battery begins to drain quickly. Without the engine stop switch engaged it drops much slower. If I disconnect the yellow wire coming from the alternator along the outside of the three white wire connection the battery will stop draining. So the only way it will drain at a slow rate is if I turn the key on and not the engine stop switch with the yellow wire unconnected. Also when the yellow wire is connected the safety relay pings.
Sorry for the poor camera skills. But the info is there and thanks again for the help.

Lol. Ok so what I should do is get my battery load tested/charged and or new battery. If I were to make my own rectifier what is a good heat sink and are there any visual instructions?
Hey everyone. So i built the rectifier. I used the plans provided by retiredgentleman and wired it into the bike. Now I have put new fuel lines and fuel filters on and cleaned the carbs. I am still finding a very rapid drop in my batter voltage after turning the key. I also cant turn the bike over.
Pictures of rectifier coming soon.
This morning I hooked up the black wire from the rectifier to my batteries negative terminal. now when I turn the key I get magnetism from the left side cover. This is telling me that I have solved my charging problem.
However I haven't been able to confirm this because the bike is not turning over when I try to kick start it. I tried to switch the batteries and something kind of interesting happened. The first battery with key on and engine stop switch on dropped to 5.46 volts then started climbing slowly. The second battery dropped as well but the climb was much slower.
I'm not sure what to make of this. When I stopped working on the bike 2 months ago it was turning over but not charging. now it seems to not turn over but would charge if given the chance lol.
any thoughts?
