Parasitic Draw?
When having positive cable connected to battery, negative cable disconnected, negative probe of multimeter connected to negative battery terminal and positive probe of multimeter connected to negative battery cable, I got a reading of .0055v when the multimeter was set to 20vDC.

hmmmmm 55 ten thousanths of a volt is might small and can be explained away by mousture in the air, finger touching probe etc...
why? is your battery going dead over night or something?
do that with a modern bike or car and you will read full battery voltage!

Just trying to eliminate any problems and trying to decide if I should just add a ground wire to my R/R or install the Honda one I have.

If you are trying to measure current, then put the meter in the current mode. Not knowing the ohms per volt of the meter, the 5.5mV doesn't mean much.
