Frame Ground
Is it ok to use the frame mounting points or any mounting point on the bike as ground instead of running cables back to the battery for ground?

What are you installing? On a bike, i would prefer to run back to the battery. This is because the bike uses a cast frame, and its resistance is quite high, although conductive. If you installing something like heated grips, or higher powered horns etc, then back to the battery. Its not as if its as long as a car

In the end i zip tied the relay to the support between the cylinder heads, that way you can easly get to it and with visual inspection from the side check the connections.
