I haven't tried Helibars, but GenMar risers have helped just a little. You might want to look into the Spiegler LSL handlebar kit.
There's a way to check the voltage drop from the R/R to the battery, might want to look into that, believe it is in the shop manual. It should be...
Couple thoughts... Seems it's unlikely to be the R/R since you had the same result with both. So, I'd investigate the stator and wiring more...

Glad you got the clutch fixed, sorry it was expensive and you had to take it to a shop. Very strange that somehow the mastery cylinder developed a...

Are you missing all of the bolts? I don't recall any of them being particularly unique, you can check the instructions which list them. If you...
Luciano - any luck?
Also, any plans to do a post-mortem on that SMC to figure out the root cause?
