How's this sound for testing the reg/rect?
Disconnect Red output lead,stick mulitmeter across output on 20v ish a/c voltage range~ run bike, but keep revs to a minimum, if ac voltage shows, rectifier part is swiss cheese~ chuck in nearest wheely bin.
If no a/c switch to dc voltage range~ & check it's in the ballpark of 12-15v.ish.
Stop engine &Reconnect output lead,then test regulator circuit as per factory manual with engine running.
Please DO NOT try 'til one of our more knowledgeable members has commented~ It's a plan, but it may be flawed
