Is this just gunk or is it burnt? The bike is an 81 GS450, seemed to run fine before I started the project.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Looks normal for an old bike with dirty oil... Just make sure it's not shorted out between the legs. I think that's about all you can do without running it. You maybe can do a resistance test too. Posplayr would know.

Thanks Pos. I've been looking through your wiring diagrams and recommendations for a single point ground. I've gotten rid of the side plate so my R/R will be mounted directly to a plate that is welded to the frame. Can I still follow your diagram if I ground the R/R to the mounting bolt or am I going to get ground loop issues? I imagine I would still have the battery negative also meet here, but I would no longer need the frame ground wire.
You should mount the R/R in rubber. Vibration from direct mount will hasten it's failure.
If the plate is already welded then the SPG can be on the plate which would be equivalent to the frame and so no additional wire required to the frame. Just mount the B/W ring lug from the harness and the wire to the battery at the SPG which leads to the R/R(-).
Ground loops are really not the issue, but then that is all explained in the SPG writeups. The SPG actually minimizes the current running between the battery and the R/R thereby reducing any voltage drops between the two.
