You're kinda messed up with your speaker selection. You have three sets of 4 ohm speakers and one set of 2 ohm. You're going to need to use 2 amps or exchange the Infinity for Kickers to get the most out of the 6x9's.
Anyway, I would run the 7.1's and 6.5's in parallel on the front channels, and the Infinity and 6x9's in series on the rear. IMO, you don't need the added tweeters.

bags on their own rear channels.
BT 6.5 I'm assuming in the lowers? if so, wire them in parallel with the 7.1" in the fairing to create a 2 ohm load at the amp's front channels.
tweeters will have little to no effect on the ohm load so I would try them on the front channel as well. If you find they're too overbearing, take them off the amp and connect them to the front outputs of the head unit. Although I'm not sure 19w will cut it for a good set of tweeters.
I would try the setup without the tweeters first. You just might find those BT speakers have plenty enough highs for you.

Unless the website is wrong for theKAPPA PERFECT6.1 - Infinity Kappa Perfect Series 6-1/2" Component they are 4 ohm just like everything else. @ UltraNutz... Roadglide Ultra with Titan II in inner fairing... Kappa in the lowers... 7.1 in upper fairing... Alpines in gauge holes.. 6902s in bags and another set of 7.1 in tourpak I only want to run that 1 amp

This is where a little more detail would have been helpful. I was looking at the Infinity 60.11cs speakers, which are 2 ohm.
Run whichever pairs you want in parallel. They will generate a 2 ohm load.

you're right on the components.
so let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly..
2 pair of speakers going in the fairing (1 pair facing inwards 1 pair in the stock speaker locations)
1 pair of speakers going in rear pods
1 pair of speakers going in the lids
tweeters

According to what I've seen , that amp is 2 ohm stable, but lists an RMS at 1 ohm( very confusing ), so does that mean parallel without problem ??? I'd contact the manufacturer...
You know when you do this, you cut the power in half.....Kind of silly to invest in 8 speakers, then feed them only 75 watts each....
They also call it a 1200 watt amp, but all configurations show only 600 watts.....weird
