+1 for the use of thermal heat sink paste on the back of the regulator/rectifier. My blade's charging system is super reliable now.
edit: I replaced the reg/rec about 10 years ago (I feel old saying that) with a Mosfet one, and it mounts to the bike's aluminium rear subframe where I cleaned it and used the silver heat paste. This dissipates the heat very well.
