Default Harley Blackline Ground Locations

So I'm an idiot and I left my bike on overnight and killed the battery.

Trying to use my jumpstart pack to get it up and running again but I'm not sure where to hook up the ground. Any ideas?

Negative battery terminal? The ground wire is only about 6 inches long if I remember correctly you can see it under the seat.

Any place on the bike that is grounded metal. What's more important is where are you going to hook up the positive cable?

The negative terminal of the battery is the most convenient location since I'm assuming you're already hooking to the positive terminal.

Hook up the the ground like others have said.

You may want to get rid of that big heavy jumpstart pack and get yourself a micro stat xp1 or 3 from antigravity they fit in your hand and will start big vehicles along with motorcyles plus they are small enough to put in a tool bag or swing arm bag.
I carry one for me and to help others well worth the money
