(replacement lucas harness assembly) on the main wiring harness, there is a two-wire grounding lug in the proximity of the head steady - i'm assuming for an engine ground. what is the factory location for that ground - the head steady iso bracket, or directly beneath one of the mounting cap screws on the head steady bracket? since the head steady bracket is painted, it seems the only ground path is the internal tooth washers of the head stead bracket to head bolts, and the lock washers of the iso brackets. BTW, during repaint, I masked the paint from the bracket where it mates with the head. it seems to me, that grounding lug would best connected to one of the head steady bracket cap screws for a good engine ground. when I got the bike, the original ground was connected to the iso bracket. the original wiring was a mess, and I have no idea what's correct, or the best ground point. any benefit to adding a secondary engine ground strap? TIA....
