1984 FXRT Fairing

Gonna get worser if ya powder coated... Need to put in the time for All Grounds...Period.

Concur,, powder coat is not conductive, and hard enough to prevent the star washers from .asking it to grouns.. iirc, each instrument has it's own ground, so any ground surfaces need to be bare metal, to insure a good ground... if grounds are not done as need be,, you will have all sorts of gremlins...
Also, iirc, the. Faring grounds to the top tree, and the top tree grounds near the neck on the right side..
Lastly the powertrain has 2 grounds, one being the negative battery cable, and a second strap ground from a lower inner primary bolt directly to the frame..

Thanks guys. The ground situation is easy enough to clean up. My question is, do the grounds go in between the headlight bucket and fairing bracket or behind the nuts for the fairing after its mounted to the bracket.

also the ground strap at the primary may be rotten from age...mine was...use auto store batt cable
