    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...

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.

OK, the person that dis-assembled the bike, me, did not label this wire and now has no idea where it goes. It's off of a 1978 GS750E. It's 11" long from eye to eye. Anyone know where it goes?

Most likely a ground wire. The terminal size would suggest a battery ground but the wire gauge looks small for that.
 
EDIT: looks like a turn signal ground wire...
 
Not sure exactly, but that is a ground. You should have a battery to frame ground and an engine to frame ground. If you're missing either of those, then that would be my choice.
 
It's definitely a ground. I just posted almost an identical question with nearly identical wire in mind.
My wire is B/W with a bullet connector in the middle and two ring terminals on either end. I know I have an engine to battery ground, and an engine to fuse ground. I don't think I have an engine to frame ground.

As for solid black wires with two ring terminals, the only ones I found today were turn signal wires. Let us know if you find the missing spot. :-)
 
looks like the wire that goes from starter relay solenoid and negative battery.
 
If you ever need to know where factory wiring goes look st thd factory manual cable routing.
 
I think I found it! looks to be a ground that goes from the negative battery terminal to the center rectifier ground ???
 
Center rectifier ground? I don't follow, can you elaborate?
 
I believe it goes from the center ground bolt on the rectifier to the negative battery terminal.
 
So it's THE ground for the RR? I thought that was hardwired. Guess I've never looked that closely.
