you must make sure you have a good electrical path between engine & frame.
best way is to remove a circle of powder coat around boltheads on battery
tray with some kind of counterbore. then use internal star/shakeproof
washers & silicone grease under boltheads to ensure good connection.
don't forget that the generator will use this as ground path, also very
large power draw from starter motor.

I know that the bolts that hold the battery tray to the tranny serve this function, and that the regulator is grounded to one of the toolbox bolts, and that the rear fender should be grounded to complete the circuit for the taillight. Am I missing anything else here?
