Thanks, Jayel
There was also a ground wire on the piece, with a wide diameter end piece. (Got this whole bike in boxes, etc., Im still tryin got figure out where all these left over parts go!)
Since the condenser is part of the top engine mount, I guess its grounding to both engine and frame.
I have seen mention of the engine-to-frame ground, and problems that it has caused - I wonder if this is it? Where is that ground?
