T, you're right on here. Peeps should do there own research. In my post to DSM Ltd. I was only saying that grounds in the front end do not go through the steering head bearing. There is a ground strap from the outer steer tube to the frame directly that provides a good solid ground for circuits in the front (fairing equipped bike or not) but as I also mentioned earlier it might not be able to carry the load of your setup without some beefing up.

Exactly.... when the 12g ground wire to the fairing fails with 4, 6 or 8g ground ran to it, you're left with head bearings for your ground. If you're going to beef up the ground to the fairing, why would you not just run your 4,6 or 8g direct to a suitable location. My amp utilizes an 80amp fuse, I'm pretty sure I want to ground that to the path of the least resistance.
I just ran another 8GA wire to the negative side of battery.
Good thing we dont discuss the drag coefficient with pneumatic tires on a smooth cement surface with 153,000 plane during an 80% thrust takeoff.
mindblowing - the possibilities

Unfortunately for you bud, several of us also have extensive aviation backgrounds. Mine started at rotary wing for 12 years. Others in here may have been a commercial pilot for several decades.
Trying to prove a point about a proper ground by flashing some aviation credentials around to guys who also have extensive aviation experience is just solidifying the opinion that you want to argue and seem to be the smart guy.
Ive worked extensively with SF guys while I was in, with chemical, petroleum, and mechanical engineers since Ive been out, and they all had one thing in common.
Smart/bad mother****ers never had to tell you they were smart/bad mother****ers .. you simply knew ..
Im done now. If this guy keeps grasping at straws like this our next shortage is going to be of brooms ..
You go ahead and complete that circuit however you choose. Im sure you love to do the airplane on a treadmill argument to people who dont know who Bernoulli is as well to try to be the smart guy in the room lmfao.

Did I say I was a bad ***? Um, no. We all know someone that was SF. We delivered many into combat and took most home alive. We took the others home as well.
You want a pissing match, go ahead. You win. I just asked some questions and I get flamed. My project is done, it works, and is done correctly.
The only thing this thread has shown, is exactly how petty some can be.
For the helpful, thank you. I will in turn help others
For those not so nice. Please block me. I have no time for you.

to be honest, I never bragged about anything but my education. You put the pedigree crap out first. I just informed you I am educated too..

Do you see the issue? Youre a one upper. People make an attempt to help you and you fire back with acres of BS because you already had it in your head you were right.
So go find some other sycophants who will echo your misguided beliefs of how things work, let it reinforce your fragile ego that doesnt allow you to be wrong, and scream load clear 😂🤣.
In my line of work back then, it was weapons free .. 😘
