Default Ground locations.... need help!

Picked up some Vieds from another forum member to accommodate some minor exhaust upgrades. Finding the o2 plus was easy but now I’m not sure where to ground them. The rear sensor plug was under the seat and I temporarily attached the ground to the seat strap bolt, however I’m fairly certain that’s not a proper ground. The front sensor plug was right in front of the oil filter and I’m completely clueless where to ground it.

Check out this wiring diagram....It seems the O2 sensors has a 5V ground in the ECM

It doesn’t need to be the ground for the o2 sensors. I just need to ground the resistor essentially. Any body ground should work I’m just not sure where a good spot to ground to is. I think there’s a ground under the starter on the motor.

Why not splice the two grounds together and then ground them to a starter mounting bolt? I have a much older Dyna and there is a ground strap (cable) from frame to starter mount.
