As I have the Tiger partly in bits I thought I'd do this mod, although I've approached it slightly differently. I've joined the red wires out of the rectifier and taken this via a 40A fuse to the live terminal on the starter solenoid - this feeds back to the battery via a nice thick cable and means I don't have 2 ring terminals on the battery. Similarly, I've taken the earth to the big earth screw on the top of the crankcase.

I hadn't ever noticed any charging problem but the cables going from the regulator connector did look a bit on the weedy side. The other advantage of doing this is that it frees up a couple of fused live feeds and associated earths.
