Default 2014+ street glide amp grounding point

Where are you guys grounding the amp to in the batwing? I feel like I looked everywhere and I can't find anything that looks like a suitable grounding spot. Really don't want to ground it where the headunit bolts to the fairing.

From my experience with car audio I was taught to always ground it as close as possible to the amp so I don't think I need to run a ground cable all the way back to the battery. Any help is appreciated.

most manufactures say for motorcycle or powersports, ground it at the battery.

I guess I'll be that guy!!!

If you are pulling the tank and seat to run the power wire to the battery, why not run a second one for ground?
