    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

I will be installing my honda RR soon, Pertaining to the SPG scheme reccomended, I currently have two black/white wires connected to the battery box and go directly back into the wire loom. I guess this is the frame gnd and harness return. Do I move one of these to my SPG and leave the other? Also currently the larger black lead from engine case goes to battery neg....this ok? Just need some clarification......thanks all
 
The engine ground typically goes to the frame. Make sure you have clean terminals and frame/engine ground points. No paint/rust etc.

Jim will likely get mad at me but I wouldn't go out of my way to single point ground. Just make sure everything is properly grounded, either to a solid frame point or the battery, and move forward. In the automotive world redundant grounding is the rule. Every so often through the harness they drop a ring loop out of the harness and to the chassis. If one ground gets corroded there is a backup somewhere.

From looks of length of wire cable from engine to neg on battery, maybe at one time it was bolted to battery box. But why move it from neg battery back to frame?
Is not the engine grounded to frame all ready by all the engine mount bolts. Most frame bolt places are painted, so grounding connection is made thru actual bolt threads, yes.
 
A 10 gauge stranded wire from the battery negative to a mounting bolt on the new R/R would be a good start.
