Remove the seat and the top compartment. It's under the air filter.
The regulator is actually a regulator and rectifier in 1 unit. The one you will need will depend on the bike. If you own a limited edition model of the goldwing then you need a specific type. But for all other bikes as an interstate or aspencade they are all the same one used for all. Hope this helps.

Basically yes- It uses a rectifier in place of a regulator
In the alternater!
Inside the voltage regulator on the alternator.
The voltage regulator/rectifier is mounted on the battery case.
A rectifier usually means a (set of) electronic components that turns AC into DC, which you need to charge a battery for instance. A regulator - well, it regulates something. Considering the category the question is posted in I'd say it regulates the charging of the battery and/or the output voltage of the rectifier.

The regulator/rectifier is usually at the front of the scooter. You should see it after removing the panel with the headlights.
The rectifier-regulator on a 2000 vstar 1100 classic is located on the right side of the bike. On the rear of the engine there is a large chrome cover the rectifier is behind this cover.
check for stator AC output first, check specs for your year, that has to work properly under load to go any further, then check for 12.75-13.50 VDC at the battery with it running, if it tests OK at the stator plug and shows battery voltage dropping instead of climbing at fast idle, suspect the rectifier/regulator It is impossible to test the rectifier, but it is built into the regulator/rectifier and you can test the regulator.
