where to ground?
I'm doing my install now on a 2012 street glide. I'm installing the amp, pbr 300x2. My directions from ultranutx say to ground to the abs bracket, but my bike doesn't have abs. Can i ground to the brake line bracket under fork, where the line splits to two? Any other suggestions?

I grounded the amps on both my Ultra and Street Glide to the bolt that where the vertical fairing mounting bracket attaches to the horizontal bracket rhat extends out and attaches to the speaker left speaker.
I removed some paint from the vertical bracket so that the horizontal bracket was against bare metal.
Works for me.

Here's a pic of the self-tapping screw I used for the empty hole in the triple tree. I picked it up at Ace and it's 10-24 x 1/2" long. It's a tough spot to get to under the head unit, but works great.

So where did you end up grounding? I'm doing exact same install and was looking for an easy ground spot.

if your bike is newer than 06 then you can simply ground it to the vertical fairing bracket or the triple tree. either way scrape off the paint, make your connection, then spray rustoleum over it to protect it.
