It’s really not that hard to replace your regulator/rectifier. I will assume that you have read The Stator Paperson the GS Resources website.

Why did my rectifier get fried on my Suzuki K7?
What is more likely is that water getting into/onto the high voltage part of the ignition circuit has caused a spike or surge to be sent through the low voltage circuit, which will fry rectifiers and other solid state components. With that in mind, check to see that the ignition circuitry is well protected from the elements.
