As I understand it. I need to take the grounds from all the lights, horn, etc...
from being grounded to the frame and ground them ONLY to the battery
negative terminal. In essence. The stator, Rectifier/Regulator, battery and
all the electrical components must be linked together and never touch
the frame of the bike.....correct?
NO, not correct. The AC common or ground is isolated from the stator PLATE by the stator mod. Thats the whole point of the mod, to break the PLATE/MOTOR/FRAME ground path. The stator ground wire is connected to the winding ONLY, and now used as one side of the AC. Now the AC floats and you can use the frame for DC ground.

If you were to use both AC and DC then you would have to be carefull that the grounds are not connected somewhere.

Depending on the specs of the Trailtech rectifier/regulator, you should be able to scrap the OEM AC regulator.

The CDI power is from a different winding and is isolated.
