Ok, All a regulator does is change AC (coming from the alternate)into DC (going to the electrical components of the bike).  If something is pulling to much amperage (short in batt, bad ground or a mild short) it will melt the regulator.

First thing I would do is see if there is any amperage going to the bike when shut off. How often do you need to charge your battery?

I had a 305 superhawk the would melt a regulator right quick.  My dad made one that it couldn't hurt.  To bad I don't have it anymore.

no... I charged up the battery with a charger the other day, and it took the charge just fine... also it's the second battery I got in like 6 months... highly doubt the battery... hopefully the mech will phone me tomorrow with good news like, "bad battery" lol...

Still, how does a regulator break?

Dress for the fall, not the ride...
