I was originally concerned with a good grounding... So I supplemented the simple (The bolt through the base plate is your ground) and wired a direct connection from the base plate to a grounded bolt on the main frame, not the swing arm.
Upon further reflection, I may have done this to myself. About 6 months ago, when returning from a weekender, my bargman cable got loose and drug on the ground, wearing away several of the internal wires. I "spliced" them as a repair.... Now I'm thinking that i did an inadequate job and there is a short some where in my repair. Maybe I should Just replace the entire cable as a start. Thoughts?
