400/4 Battery Location question ?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've reversed my battery so it fits correctly. The earth strap looks as though it fits on the engine mount nut OK. The positive now reaches the starter solenoid was upside down after some loosening of terminals it's now as it should be. When I come to replace the wiring loom I have no faith in the existing routing so will be on the look out for photos of how it should be routed. Workshop manuals are a very limited sources of such information. Some serious searching is ahead of me - old posts here etc. I guess there isn't a market for rebuild manuals. I take my hat off for those that build a bike from a boxes of parts.
Deano400:
This may help.
Bryanj:
That earth strap aint original anyway
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks everyone for the input.
That is much safer battery now fitted the right way around.

Thanks Deano that's really helpful for when I rebuild after full strip down. What is the source of the page as neither of the manuals that came with my bike have similar pages ?
As I suspected my loom has not been replaced but definitely it has been taken off and refitted with quite a few errors.
