I had the exact same problem on a 129 that I once had. My problem was an old wiring harness and a lot of the wire insulation had corroded away, exposing bare wires that came in contact. Mine resulted in a small fire and my harness and regulator were fried. Sounds like you are due for a new regulator and wire harness. Probably overdue and will make for a safer, more reliable ride in the future!
