My first guess is a faulty rec/reg. I know you say it's new but new can still be broken.
To rule out your brand new stator as the problem, a leg test should be done once the bike is hot & the voltage drops. If the stator is not the problem, you will see max voltage on each of the 3 yellow wires. Next after that is the rec/reg. It wouldnt hurt to bolt on an extra ground wire to ensure everything has sufficent ground. This is important because the charging system on a wing uses a shunt system which sends all unused power to ground & that is also a reason that we all cut the 3 yellow wire connector inside the battery cover right out & hard wire those wires together. The connector is a hot spot due to increased resistance in the plug. They melt & your charging system fails! Their only purpose is easy disconnection for engine removal.
If anyone on this forum knows the proceedure for testing a rec/reg, please chime in!
