It is under your seat.

but i want to use my laptop

On motorcycles the regulator/rectifier are usually one unit. The voltage regulator takes the juice coming from the alternator and converts it , usually from a higher voltage, to 12 volts. The rectifier takes any extra power left over from the conversion and dissipates it in the form of heat. Honda motorcycles draw power from the battery to run everything on the motorcycle. When you disconnect the battery it is like turning off the key. If your battery is not charging check the alternator first. Find the plug coming out of the engine with three yellow wires. You should have continuity between any combination of these three wires. You should have no continuity between any of these three wires and ground. If If you get no continuity between any of the yellow wires or you get continuity between a yellow wire and ground , you need a new alternator. If the alternator checks good and the battery passes a load test, then you probably need a new regulator/rectifier.

An original spec is all that is needed, all the Reg/Rect does is convert generator AC volts to DC volts for storage in the battery.

i would try looking at the fuses and chcek if your getting fire coming out of the ignition

The regulator /rectifier is located on the backside of the battery box, If you are looking at the battery it is on the right between the battery and the rear wheel , mounted on the actual battery box (Flat box with fins and three wire connectors)

Voltage regulator/rectifier located in the LH cover, before you do that ensure your battery is in good condition.
Good enough?

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Offhand, it would appear that the charging circuitry has failed.  Initially, check the rectifier/regulator combo and its connectors/terminals.  The regulator is located behind and below the coolant reservoir. Check for any loose, burned or corroded terminals:

• 3 yellow wires from stator;
  
• green wire to ground; and
  
• red/white wire from regulator to starter relay (to battery - charging line).
  

The voltage on the the red/white wire or the battery + terminal should rise from 12 + to 14+ as the engine RPM is increased.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
