My outer alternator brush was worn just below 3/8" and my bike wasn't charging. While inspecting the brush length the solder broke, holding the wire to the mount. i begin to solder it back on and realize i can solder the wire short of where it originally attached, letting the brush extend farther out of the holder.
for now it is charging fine, about 14v at idle. i took it out for a short ride of 6 or 8 miles and it ran great.
this is just a temp fix until i order new ones but it may be helpful for some one trying to get a bike to run
