Otherwise little overall change in how the electrical system will work. In which case it seems to me given my overall goal of solid performance it makes more sense to upgrade ignition rather then polarity. The wiring harness on this bike is a mess so I was simply going to buy a aftermarket harness.
Any thoughts on a reasonably priced ignition replacement/upgrade?

The first thing to think about is replacing the alternator and charging system. The hot setup is a 3 phase stator, 180 or 200 watts. Search here for "Sparx" or "3 phase" and you'll see what others have done. When you replace the harness and install a new charging system you can make the choice of positive or negative ground. The ignition choices are numerous.. Boyer is probably the cheapest. Sparx, Pazon, Lucas, and Tri-Spark are other brands. Everyone has their favorite, and they all work.
I'll have a look at all but Lucas, have an aversion to them, an old joke here, "Hey, you know why the Brits drink warm beer?"
