Have you fully cleaned and tested every connection?
In some cases, a connector looks good but is slopped out inside and the connections aren't being made.
It can be hard to trace down something like this cause you can't see inside the connector.

Also, have you looked at every positive connection to make sure they are tight and clean?

When the bike is running, after a couple minutes, check the heat on the rectifier. If a charge is being put out, it should be getting hot from converting AC to DC, or at least warming up a little.

Your system goes from rotor/stator -> rectifier -> regulator unless a combo unit then combine them, -> battery.
