For this purpose, your analog meter should do just fine. All you really need is a voltage reading from the battery with the bike running. If it shows normal battery voltage or less, you have a charging problem. If it's mid 13v to mid 14v, the alternator is working and the battery is likely not accepting the charge.
I know what you mean about the early 80s CB650 charging system. That thing was anemic even when the (delicate) stator was brand new.
