At only 13.2 volts, your charging output is rather low and warrants further investigation. If the slip rings are really dirty, that can affect the output. You might try cleaning them if you didn't already do so when you replaced the brushes.
Thanks 5twins, I'll be sure to check on that.
In other news, I brought home a couple of craigslist parts bikes yesterday. I really only needed one, but he wanted to get rid of both of them. I'll be taking a couple of parts from one engine and the triple tree. Neither frame has a title; one of them doesn't even have a legible VIN. Does anyone know how hard it is to get titles in NM without any paperwork? In UT it was easy peasy (even with no VIN!), but I haven't tried to do it in NM yet. The frames are late '70s (I was told) - is it worth getting titles for them?
Once I've got what I need I'll put up an ad in the classifieds forum. (The parts bikes are the ones on the right).
