Welcome to the stator club!! I had mine done back in December. jgcable, it's a very known problem and HD won't do anything about it. Some people I read had there's fixed but were in warranty of just out. My local Indy did mine with the original stator. Put loctite in and said it would be fine. I haven't had a problem yet. (knock on wood). Good luck.

Maybe they'll do something about it if I'm willing to spend some bucks to hold their feet to the fire. I care about the 500 bucks, or whatever it ends up costing to come out the other end of this problem, but I care a lot more about getting screwed, and will put a lot more money into that.

Stator wire harness connector
Just got email saying ups will deliver stator and rotor tommorro. Cleaned out primary of winding shavings . Question Neither stator pdf instructions. Or my service manual state where each wire from stator go into the connector to the regulator. Does anyone know where each of the 3 wires go ? There not color coded ,so i'm confused on where each go into the deutsch connector.

An update on mine: (there are three threads running on this right now, so I'll post something similar in each thread)
While it was apart for the trashed stator-rotor replacement, the shop checked the inner primary bearing. It's pretty easy to check at that point. The bearing was really knarley looking with chunks of metal missing from the surface of the inner race, so that was replaced too. So I'd advise checking that while things are apart. There was no noise to suggest that the bearing was going south, but I have pretty loud pipes.
One other thing:
The Stator / Rotor kit 43056-06b, which HD recommends to repair this problem, is a one-piece unit, not held together by screws like the original part.

Your three wires coming from the stator go into the voltage regulator connector on pins 1, 2, and 3. Since it is a delta wound stator, it does not matter which wire goes in what number pin hole in the connector.

Skin is correct. The stator is 3 phase AC voltage and each line is the same. Actually the test across them since they are separate phase is why you see the voltage since of course you cannot mix or check them with the 12 volt DC grounded system on the frame. Truly if you took your meter and went to a real earth ground, they would only show 1/2 what they show. When the 3 phase AC goes into the regulator, it has diodes to only let it go one way changing it to DC and regulates the charge voltage amount to the battery. Most people do not realize, but the older two wire system on the Harleys is actually 2 phase. What do you think burnt up your system?

But in my defense, uninformed as I was, my advice to match the colors would have worked too.

Keep connections tight, no excess load (no 200 amp amps for the radio) and if you do not ride an hour ever two weeks, use the maintenance charger. Overheating is what takes it out, and it takes a load to overheat it.
