Can the battery ground go anywhere on the frame? My CB750K5 has the battery ground go to the rear engine mount screw. Is there any magic to this? I want to move it. If I put it somewhere else, do I need to grind off any paint to make it work?

Thanks

yes,yes and yes.make sure the ground is close to the frame.the reason they put it on the frame is to prevent electrolisis.since aluminum will break down faster than steel.but since you dont have a cooling system you should be ok.make sure the connection is tight and clean.metal on metal.

This website offers some battery mounts. They are meant to go in tail section of their custom seats. They are way too $$$, but I printed the pics and am thinking of making a similar mount.

Also, if you arent already, if you are using a wire with seperate connectors to connect it to the battery and grounging point on the frame, be sure to use a large a gauge of wire as possible, and solder these connectors to the wire itself. Go bigger than factory if you can.
