loom

Needs some info. My bike is running good like a Triumph should. Earlier in the year I smoked my ground wire while charging the batt. I inspected my harness and all was well. I replaced the ground wire with a #10 stranded figuring it would have more ampacity and be a better ground. A thought crossed my mind, (a desert lately), that it might be too rigid and apt to break easier with the vibes. The question is, what is the gauge and number of strands of the ground wire from frame to battery in a stock loom? What do you think of all this? Am I nit picking or should I use the proper size ground wire? Thanks in advance. I've learned a lot from you guys and passed some of it along. Frank

where the H***(heck) you been lately knees in the breeze?

I wouldn't worry but if you do use a few wires of a smaller gauge or a braided ground strap. about 70 Triumph had a
very HD cable strap that was used about 10 gauge I think it was off a T150 (but I wont swear to that)
