OMG,"Energy can neither be created or destroyed" there is no "Free Energy".! The alternator makes the same power and the bike uses the same amount as it always did.If you raise the voltage of the battery you may exceed the charging rate and shorten battery life, it may have more stored power but this is only good when hitting the starter button. You've only one path instead of two, that the power can take to feed both lighting and the ignition systems ,unless you have greatly increased it's wire size to carry the entire load , the greater amperage will drive up resistance , drive down voltage ,causing the wire to heat which will be dispelled.(causing a net loss in electrical energy). But even if you have gone to heavier wire you may be charging the battery at a higher rate, ( a 200 amp battery would only be charged to 207 amps at the higher voltage)but your also discharging the battery at a higher rate. you gain nothing. Shorting the path of flow does nothing, the speed of flow through a properly sized copper wire being 280,000 kilometers per/ sec or 173,000 miles per/sec. If the connector is a problem ,cut it out and hard wire the circuit. the extra voltage you see at the battery is because regulators produce a discharge voltage between 14 -15.5 volts .
