Seems since I reconnected my harness my battery is slowly being drained even with the ignition unplugged any ideas to save me from painstakingly going thru the whole thing again?

I think trouble shooting electrical systems requires some kinda black art... I say, good luck with that. Wish I could help.

Up, not much help I can give as well... Could you put an amp meter in series with the positive battery wire then start disconnecting plugs?

Some where there a ground falt. Power bleeding through. Id do as Walms suggested. No easy solutions with wiring.

If your battery goes dead with the key off it,s probably your rectifier.A bad diode will let power go to ground.

I agree, with the ignition dissconnected and the battery still drains, I would suspect the rectifire/regulator assembly as the fault. Reconnect the ignition and dissconnect the rectifire/regulator and then check for a drain. Make sure the battery is fully charged first, also this might take a day or two to see a drop. It depends on rate of the drain. Also you should performe a load test on your batery when fully charged and after sitting for a hour or two after charging to elimate a bad battery issue.

Yes the drain is slow it took about a week to fully drain I should mention its a Shorai lithium battery

Historically there is a fault with the regulator, the factory originally did a fix with an extra diode fixed externally , I just removed the complete item and substituted a new reg / rectifier sold as a replacement on 500 cc Indian Enfield bullet, bought via e bay

The advice above seems accurate. If the H1D used the same regulator as the early H2s, it does need an external blocking diode to prevent battery drain. If you have the regulator that has three large and two small fins, you have the one that needs a blocking diode.
The good news is that you can pick up any old diode that's rated at 10 amps or more, make a mount/heat sink for it, and it will fix the problem.

I think only the early H2's had the added diode......

I think you're right, John, but someone along the way could have replaced the original one in Mouth's H1D with an early H2 regulator. When he looks at the fins in it he'll know.

The H1D and H2 use the same regulator , the external diode fix is also found on '73 model D's, I have one that had this modification
