Hi Wayne and welcome to SWB, always glad to welcome someone from Brumagen on board.
Your reg/rec problem is common with Blackbirds I'm told. It's pretty common on other bikes too it seems, my old Aprilia had it and so did my 2006 Sprint 1050 when I first got it. The replacement to go for is a Mosfet item. You'll need to check your generator's not fried too. An essential is to make sure all connections and wiring are at least up to par; preferably well above it. The Blackbird forum will have all the info' you'll ever need on this. Good luck.

As Phil says above...….
These people MotoElectrical should be able to supply a Mosfet reg/rec for the Bird:-
