As to stator modification: Instead of fishing a new wire down the harness for your floated ground point, you could remove the yellow from it's location and move it. Solder it to the ground wire that you unhook from the ground lug. So the yellow wire is now "the other side of the circuit".

White will be the "top" of the windings and yellow will be the "bottom" of the windings. There is a voltage trimmer on the TrailTech RR so with the engine at moderate RPMs you should be able to adjust it for approx 13.5 to 14.5 VDC output. This is based on a battery that you've already charged before installing.

I use a Ballistic brand 8 cell Lithium ion battery. It is closer in size to the stock battery than the Shorai battery that most guys use. It has a higher cranking capacity.
Size isn't near as important to me as I will be building my own battery box anyways. I'm not a fan of how much the factory one comes into the airbox on the '12 bikes.

Do you think the Ballistic 4 cell would be adequate for cranking over the starter after the bike is already warmed up and the battery has had draw moving through it for the headlight?
