I am putting on a new horn that requires a relay. I have it all wired up but I need a ground for the horn itself. I would rathe not run another wire back to the battery if I can avoid it.

Are there any good spots to ground to toward the front of the engine, maybe on the frame?

TIA

If you find out let me know also, I have installed two horns but need to wire them, I am putting 15 A fuse from the battery power to relay, I might also run the ground back to battery.

Thanks
Singh

I would think you could pick just about any frame bolt since it's an all metal bike.

Yup. I just used the bolt that the original horn bracket mounts with. Put on a 1/4 inch crimp on ring connector and it works like a charm....mountains out of mole hills I guess, but there is no telling the hours I have spent chasing down bad grounds on trailers, that I am always cautious.
