When I replaced the one on the 900ss with an Electrex I connected the earth back to the battery but connected the red +ve wire to the 30A fuse as the original to give some degree of protection should the regulator fail. The previous OEM regulator shorted out internally and flattened the battery big style, damn near set the bike on fire if I hadn't disconnected it quickly. Also, in the event of inadvertantly connecting the battery the wrong way round the 30A fuse will blow and protect the regulator.
