When my ground strap failed me, i too was getting 13.2-13.6 volts when i checked it. But then i'd go for a drive and come back and that number would be more like 12.8-13.0 while running. It would charge for a little while but then go downhill as things warmed up.

It really is super simple to test. Take your jumper cables and use them as a temporary ground cable from your fan shroud to the chassis somewhere. I used the metal plate that the CDI was bolted to i believe. Adding this new path for current to return will immediately improve your voltage so you can verify it in literally 3 minutes (so long as you have jumper cables to use).
I'll also try this
