The Harley likely uses 4AWG battery cable. 4AWG should be sufficient.

He's not doing a factory correct restoration. Sounds like he ran a heavy ground from the frame rail to the block. That continues the ground current path from the battery cable that's already running to the frame. While it's not stock, it looks cleaner and should do the job adequately.
