Welcome to the Tiger den.  You broken bolt is DAR (dreaded alternator rattle).  It will happen again unless you use some JB Weld or Loctite potting compound or similar on the splines of the alt shaft.  The cush drive jiggles a tiny bit and ever so slowly gets tighter until the bolt breaks.  

You'll love the bike but it does have its.......personality.

I'm so very happy to provide hours of entertainment based on my Steamer misfortunes.  I truly hope your mileage varies.
