Ok, a little update!
I got the rectifier and regulator, mounted them on a plate to go where the original combined unit would mount and the bike fired up first kick with ease.
sitting around 13.6v at a bit higher than idle... (sorry I have no tach haha) but I'm confident that it is fixed.
I'm still seeing about 1.5V less than battery voltage on the positive brush when Key On, I've read conflicting things about this though.
Some say that close to battery voltage is acceptable, other's (including curly's guide) say that battery voltage needs to be present.
I have cleaned up the wiring AGAIN, beefed up all the grounds and power cables as well.
I can't quite put my finger on it - any suggestions?
I also have a question about finding a new battery.
When looking, I'm seeing a lot of batteries in the footprint I want, but the max charge is usually 1.8amps.
Is this an issue?
Any suggestions on a small AGM battery?
