lotta late-nite wiring going on...

not sure if this is what you mean, but if you mean the little box attached to the back of the splash guard, then yes there are three: a black one and a tan on the silver pole, and another(!) black one to the brass pole.

wanna make sure we're looking at this the same:

If you're looking at the splash guard from the rear of the bike, you can't see the breaker-- it's mounted in the engine side. But if you look at it from the motor-- towards the rear wheel-- the silver pole is on the right.

hope I'm helping-- let me know if you need a pic or anything.

man, I can't get my camera far enough up there to get a good pic. But I looked and the black wire from the voltage regulator goes on the silver pole. The other black wire comes from another bundle and goes on the brass pole.
