Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

This and the GSX problem cracked me !
Initial issue :
Anyway after simply connecting the RR ground wire to the positive battery terminal and riding one mile I blew the stator up and the 3 stator wire connections to RR burnt out.
The fix was simply a new stator , re do wiring and input on a new RR . I don't think the RR was at fault but a new one is on . I agreed with that early diagnosis but ......
The issue was I was sent the wrong stator ! I ordered before I took it out. one sent had 12 nodes and my one had 18. I never compared them. Never had the time to calmly in a garage do this !
Also I ground the RR to the frame on all bikes now so it never happens again. It only happened as I went away for many months and could not remember where the wire went in my haste to ride .....
All sorted. Seems so simple now !

A crazy problem this that cracked me as it was impossible it could not be the stator yet I had two new ones (both the wrong type yet fitted perfectly).
Enough it can't happen to.me again thank the lord.
(Best not read the GSX issue which is ongoing ...)
But bike is back reliable and out and about in the sun.
Hopefully off to Normandy (a bit late) , Somme and onto Amsterdam soon with a tent again.
