Modern thinking is to hide them hopefully in air flow. Personally when the reg/rec dies I replace the connections, as the connectors get burned. Then move to somewhere in air flow.
My CBR600 F3’s is hardly in airflow, under the panel beside the seat. I fitted a little PC fan on top of mine to promote a little cooling and it hasn’t popped recently.

Any issues with the windings?
