will get charge rates to you have checked altinator all checks out reg/rect is new old 1 burnt out and replaced plug,lights off is 14.8 @battery that drops with side lights on and then with main lights on you can watch the volts on meter dropping ie 12.5-12.4-12.2 ect and drops below 12 whilst running. it like it not charging with the lights on

Yep.

CBR aftermarket regulator would be the problem.

Going to assume it's one of the cheap 20gbp Chinese knock offs?

There shite!

The R6 r/r is fantastic value for money.. 2nd hand ones can be had delivered for around 20gbp if you shop hard enough.

congrats on getting the problem sorted!

ive got the same problem and have recently purchased a R6 reg
problem is i dont have a clue what i need to do with the wiring coz the R6 reg didnt come with any wires on it
could anyone tell me which colours from the original wiring i would need to connect to which pin on the R6?
