Sorry for the delay...
Tabs are staying for now, but will probably cutem sooner or later.
As for the wire, it is the smaller of the 2 negative termainal wires.
The Freak Mud Guard is mounted to the 2 bolts that hold the rear fender in place, I then mounted the battery box to the brace. It's pretty darn stable, but time will tell!

Gonna chop the rear fender in Jan, stand by for pics...

Oh, any comments on my .50 cal choke knob???
