Have you checked the output voltages of the stator and regulator? What's the voltage across the battery with the bike at a fast idle?
Not sure how hard you searched, there was a thread on this here yesterday.

my father in law has the clymer book for this bike and he did all the test for the charging system and they came back good, when i first got the bike the volt. reg. waqs bad so got a new one still didnt charge so changed stator and put new battery in but still wont start it wqas like around 14 but when you shut it off it will drop to like 12.5 and if you start it and just let it idle it wont go past 12.5 then drop to under 12 when you stop it it

A new battery should also be float charged for 24 hours prior to use.
What voltage do you have across the battery with the motor at a FAST (2,000 RPM) idle?
