    Any musicians in the house?

    What instruments do any of you guys play? I'm a drummer. I've been playing since 1989.

    Those white walls sure do make this one pop. Nice work.

    Added the fork bag for the front wiring and the exhaust wrap.

    Fantastic. I think I have it squared away now. I think I'll be right under 25 amps for the front end power. The horns draw 6 amps max. 12 amps total because there are two of them. High note and Low note. The headlight pulls 5.4 amps. and the signal lights are LED so super low draw for all of...

    Alright, so the frame gets all of the other grounding points and the battery gets the main chassis ground. The only ground terminal on the battery is the main chassis ground?

    That ground can go to either the battery negative or a chassis ground as long as there is a solid ground coming from the chassis to the battery negative, correct?

    Here are photos of the ignition switch and the fuse box. I was planning on using the 20amp fuse that used to be the headlight for the front end power feed.

    I knew something was funky. Yes... That is the ground for the reg/rec. So, that should go to a chassis ground or the battery ground?
