Volatge regulator?

Went for a ride to Waddington airshow today. Bike didnt feel quite right on the way there. Cant put my finger on it but it didnt feel as perky as normal. On the way home it was missing and didnt want to rev. i turned the lights off and that helped for a few miles but we eventually had to pull into a layby on the A14. The batter was totally dead so i'm guessing it was the voltage regulator that has gone?

I tried a search on here for previous postings about this but i think i'm using it wrong cos nothing came up.

Any ideas how much a new one might be or how to test the one ive got bearing in mind that the bike wont run till i get the battery charged up. I seem to remember someone saying that a honda part will fit and is a bit cheaper?

The bike is a 1999 ST4 by the way.

Oh and to the six or seven dukes that passed us in the layby while we were waiting for the recovery truck, thanks so much for not even nodding to us. At least two passed the bike while i had gone into a field to use the phone ( it was quieter) leaving my mrs with all our kit spread out and the seat off. Only one bike ( i think it was a Kawasaki) waved and gave the thumbs up to see if we were okay.

Paul.
