Ironhead Another Charging Issue Thread

New to me 77 XLH Sportster....battery not charging

From sticky:

Charging system test:
Bike not running 12.x
Bike Running 11.8ish

Generator Test #1
14 AMP output from gen using instructions from FM, says > 10A its good
14 Volts at A on gen
9-10 Volts at F on gen

Starting to think regulator is bad but I took the cover off and everything appears in order, clean, and not sticking.

The wiring on the bike is pretty shoddy. Took a look at wiring diagram and it shows a wire from main circuit breaker to Battery + Terminal. The only wire on my Battery + Terminal is the battery cable to starter solenoid. I can't even locate the main circuit breaker shown in the diagram. Could my battery not be charging due to this missing component?
