Sorry that I did mislead you to the left handler switch, the fact of one bulb only turning on confused me.
The diodes are good.
I am not sure if something bad will happen by starting the engine and turning the lights on at once.
The purpose of the system is to feed the starter motor only with the battery, and turn the lights on only after the starter is off and the alternator is feeding the lights and anything else.
I would give it a try and see if no fuse is blown.
There is a plastic clip for jumping cables that should be available at autoparts and which schematic I have attached.
Whatever method of by-passing the relay you choose, try a firm connection and check that it is not too hot after some minutes of having the lights on.
Since we know that the relay is bad, there is an additional test to do and it is checking the voltage of the yellow-red wire while the engine is working.
I know that you tested before (test #6 above), but I am not sure if you measured with the engine working or just the key switch in the on position.
It should be zero or very small.
That ensures that the coil of the relay is good and that the starter motor is not draining the battery after the engine is running.

Had to give my pops back his multimeter last night, but will grab it again tonight so I can do this.
I want to say when I was doing testing I was always doing it with the engine running and with just the key on and engine not running. Also I want to say I got 1/ .1 or 2/ .2 on the yellow / red wire. Will confirm tonight.
to confirm the relay is part number
27002:
RELAY-ASSY
or is it
27002A:
RELAY-ASSY
or neither?
anyways thanks again for all the help! Once I get everything together and running for sure once I get the parts I will make a right up of everything i've done! Thanks a lot everyone! I learned a lot about the bikes electrical system
