Currently I'm working to square away the wiring on my 69'. For the most part it's not bad but mice have nibbled away most of the cloth covering and what's left is soaked with oil so I cut it off too so I'm replacing a few wires that have been rubbed thru and a couple of connectors that look ragged but am about ready to go back together with some new snakeskin and assorted hardware to (hopefully) upgrade things a bit. To that end, I remember seeing a picture here, I think in was in a thread about headsteadys, of someone's bike and it had a super-duty woven copper ground strap going from the engine head to the frame. As I recall it attached to headsteady mountings on both ends. My question is whether such a substantial ground is needed. If so, I'm at the point to add one, but if not, well, there's enough else to do without making more work. I plan to install a Pazon surefire when I get to that point and plan to ground it by running a wire back to the rectifier.
Hope this isn't a controversial topic, but I though it best to do a sanity check with the minds here. Thanks.
