Is this the part? Found on partsoutlaw.

REG RECT COMP **(0) C.2001

Also it looks like there's two different versions of the dt300i is the regulator the same on both idk which model I have.

It's either ABS or non-ABS, the regulator is the same.

The right side seat latch has the dash light and under seat light switch so if remove a seat latch bracket (advised) take off the left side.

You got a good deal!

Another possible glitch with the DT: brake switches burning out! You find out by not being able to start the bike, or you can start it with only one brake, the other side being burned out. Apparently the brake switches can't handle the current from the incandescent brake bulb and eventually arc themselves bad. An easy preventive fix is to replace the brake bulb with an LED before the switches go bad. An LED draws 1/5th the current of an incandescent bulb.

THIS.  Two latches virtually guarantees that... sooner or later.. you will be locked out of your seat.  In my DT,  the  cable was busted so the PO took a coat hanger and hooked the left side lock and brought it down the left hand side. It works great. 

I have done some experimenting on those latches.   It only takes the  slightest pull to release the lock... and I mean slight!  What that means is that you can do BOTH... run a cable to the release AND a stiff emergency release down the left side and tie off in front of the kickstand.  I have a new cable and the next time I have the front fairing off I am going to install it to the left side lock (ignore the right), and leave the current wired release in case the cable ever fails.
