RadioFlyer, do you know of a source for "series type regulators" for the LC R1200RTs? I have a 2014 with low mileage and would like to do anything possible to extend the life of my stator.
I will walk through this slowly so that you can follow along and verify for yourself.
According to the parts fiche at MAX BMW the regulator on your bike is part # 12 31 8 523 367. You should verify this for yourself.
To find out what regulator that actually is I searched on the internet for images matching the part number. There are several used ones for sale on eBay with photos. I grabbed this one.
As you can see it is the Shindengen FH020 regulator that I mentioned previously. The "AA" suffix indicates that the voltage setpoint is 14.5V +/- 0.5V.
At this point I will say that I do not have a specific series regulator to recommend for your specific bike as I haven't researched it. But I do have a suggestion.
I would suggest that you contact one or more of the following reputable vendors relating that you want to replace the FH020AA shunt type regulator on your specific bike with a series type regulator. Ask them what regulator they would recommend and whether they know if there are any physical fitment issues for your bike (not all regulators have the same form factor).

These vendors will sell you a "real" item (Shindengen or another name brand). There are a number of counterfeit Shindengens out there.
And of course you could always Google for posts by those who have replaced the FH020 on your bike or on other models/brands.
Hope this helps. I am currently replacing the regulators on our two F800 bikes over the winter.
