Wouldn't the fixing bolts connect heatsink to frame ?
Maybe they made RR cheaper by electrically connecting some devices to H/S - but then surely the negative cable would go to frame / ground on bike anyway ( maybe with some volt drop in bike loom though ) ?

Those are possibilities. All wiring and grounds should be checked. I had some corrosion in an in-line fuse that came with the R/R on a previous R/R test and decided it was unneeded so removed it from the Regulator line
With the one I'm testing it could just be by design with the new circuitry used in it.
I didn't want to post my new link on forums until I had a couple of months on these cheap R/Rs I've found but so far I've done 300 miles plus and no problems,

Due to short-term work commitments I can't test a 2nd new one I got this week until sometime later this week as my SV650 is my main commuter at the moment
PS.
I liked your 12V voltmeter better than the one I had on which was crapping out a bit anyway so fitted one
