sort of a wire. It's actually a ground strap, you know the wide braided type earth wire. While I was getting the heated grips and emergency flasher working today I noticed this ground strap that runs along the left side fairing support, just to the left of the headlight, it's not connected to anything. I think it's the same one that's fastened to all the other earth wires under the fuel tank. It runs over and back through the steering neck and under the tank. Where is it suppose to fasten? This bike had a radio on it at some time in it's life, there's a hole in the front of the left glove box where I assume the wires for the radio went. Noticed some rattling in the front end today that I hadn't heard previously, think it was this earth strap banging around in the fairing.
Is this large long earth strap suppose to be hooked to something? does it ground the fairing to the frame? Thank you for your help, bob
