I never had any problems with the charging systems once I rewired the bike my way. The biggest problem with those bikes was the harness the components worked very well and a long time. As for positive ground, I like it. Even my Studebaker is positive ground.
My '51 Plymouth is positive ground as were most US and virtually all Brit cars prior to 1956. Positive ground cars seem to have a lot less trouble with battery connector corrosion.
The reason for the mass change to 12V negative ground in '56 has to do with transistor technology at the time. Transistors were easier and cheaper to make with negative ground.
