I presume on most bikes that have a battery and negative ground that the main fuse, 10 amps or bigger, is always on the positive side, I guess to help protect the battery from meltdown or explosion. Never having seen a bike with positive ground and not having paid attention to father's old A40 Austin, I'm guessing that even negative ground systems have a main fuse on the positive side. Is this so?

No, positive ground systems put the fuse on the negative wire.
