Think the thick black lead from battery earths to the frame.
These are thin leads possibly 3 of them have a black lead from the rectifier not sure if this is one of them will post the colour of the other 2 later

The thick black wire from the battery is the main earth & bolts to the crank case above the kick-start cover it also has a thinner black wire with a yellow stripe attached to it which connects to the main wiring harness. rectifier black lead goes to battery earth
