[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 135082, member: 3756"] Tomorrow I can get a pic, not enough light for pictures atm. The voltage regulator is just temporarily bolted with a single bolt to the location that usually holds the icu on the 83. Its a metal plate which is held on to the top of the frame with one phillips screw. I didn't think it needed a ground to the frame because the stock 83 regulator mount was isolated from the frame with rubber. Maybe that's not how it's supposed to be either, but that's how it was. I thought the green wire was enough of a ground because thats all that was grounding it before. Didn't know the green wire and vr needed a frame ground as well. It didn't have a frame ground when I got it. I found I need to fix my ignition switch as well, have to re-solder and clean it, it seems loose and is making a sketchy connection. What do people do for grounding and mounting these items when custom bikes relocate all the electronics? I'd like a link to a build where someone successfully relocated everything to see how they did it, if anyone can think of a build like that let me know. [size=5]I want all that electronics and relays and icu and regulator and turn signal stuff off the top and sides of the frame so I can do without a false tank and ride with a completely bare frame.[/size] The way it is now was just temporary to test the bike.
