Hello and thanks for your help! When I pull the throttle all my lights get brighter. Is this normal or a sign of an electric problem?

when all is well you will notice the charging system output increase with RPM.
At idle you could be at 12.8-13V depending on idle speed. By 2500 you should be close to 14.V. You should not go much over 14.5 at 5000 RPM.
Normal readings are in the stator pages. -

No, what will fry the expensive parts again is the poor connections that fried them last time.

Hi,
What Mr. tkent02 is trying to say is, check/clean/repair every electrical connection and ground on the entire wiring harness from the headlight bucket to the tail light including the ignition switch, the fuse box, the solenoid connections, the turn signal stalks, that big, fat ground wire between the negative battery terminal and the bottom of the engine, all the molex and bullet connectors, everything. Your motorcycle will love you for it. Then run your ground wire from the r/r unit directly to the negative terminal of the battery. Your motorcycle will love you even more.
Thank you for your indulgence,
