Will a universal regulator work?

Got my used eBay R1 regulator in the mail today and it has some melted plastic around one of the terminals. I'm hoping this is nothing to worry about. I also got a new connector for the R1 regulator from Ricks.
I wired up my old regulator just for grins and amazingly it still charges... 14.48 volts @ 3,500 rpm. (engine was still cold, didn't want to go above 3,500 rpm) I'm still going with the R1 regulator since I have it and it was fairly cheap.
Also, I bought a weather proof 12 volt outlet that I plan to mount under the seat somewhere to charge my cell phone if I'm out riding and get a dead battery and need to use the phone. Is there any problems with this?
Now to buy a voltmeter to install....
