Electrical question

My 79 Suzuki had a separate regulator and rectifier. When they went, I got an aftermarket R/R. Still wouldn't charge, even though the stator checked correctly. That's when I took the ground wire from the new R/R off the frame and connected it directly to the negative terminal of the battery. Has been charging perfect for over two years.
