Charging problem

I have an 84 goldwing 1200. It had been charging at about 12.5 to 13 volts when first started then after running for five minutes or so it quit charging altogether and the battery would discharge while running. I changed the voltage regulator with a known good one. It charged at 14.5 volts for the first few minutes, then quit working. After letting the bike sit for an hour I started it again and it did the same thing as the original regulator, only putting out about 12.5 volts. The stator tests good and is only a couple years old. Does anyone have an idea what could cause the regulator to burn out like this?
