Bear with me here on my comparison, but in my mind I see this like having a pipe with water flowing through it, then T'ing off that pipe and putting a valve on the off-shoot, trying to regulate pressure through the main stretch of pipe - it doesn't make sense!

Hopefully this makes some degree of sense and someone can clarify this for me.
If I remember right you have a '01 or close to it? Yes, the voltage regulator is tucked under/inside the frame behind the steering stem back then.
