Seems good to go now. Thankfully my initial wiring setup was so bad that the bike just ran iff the battery and wasnt passing anything to the wrong places. The new setup is working and has solved my charging issues. Left with battery at 12.68 came back at 12.89, was in regular traffic and not high rpms. I even managed to stall it once, so I am estatic.
Checked the charge then touched the regulator (slightly warm) and the rectfier (cool). Wiring looked good and nothing smelled burnt. The wiring job ive done is amatuer at best and the mounting needs reworking since i didnt design it with this regulator, but i think this will work as a longterm solution.
Pretty happy that its now a functional bike, hell I even noticed during the ride that all my lights were brighter.
