Hi everyone! This is my first post and I'm posting because I need help.. First off let me tell you all that I'm new to the motorcycle game so I'll try to be as specific as I can be and name stuff right.
Ok here's my problem...

Well I took my bike apart to paint the frame and well my dumb self forgot to label and mark everything on how it goes. So I'm putting everything together and I thought I had everything connected right. So I go to hooking up mg battery cable and notice that when I did one of my ground cables started sparking. The ground cable on the voltage regulator.. It actually got so hot that it started melting the wire. I noticed that afterwards I burned the main fuse so I replaced that but no change. I need help guys please.

That's what I had thought but I checked it and it was all good the way I had it. Also the battery was good no reverse polarity
