    On the 6G it is up under the nose fairing, on the 5G it is in the harness left side below the seat/sidecover.

    Sorry mate, I had the 5G but not the 6th, but you are looking for a blue plastic block, I know its at the front of the 6G and I suspect you need to take the nose fairing off for easy access. Try searching for earth block instead of ground.

    nothing like that there at all. i see that unit there with the plugs on it but no other cables there at all. also do you know where the frame ground that comes from the battery is?

    The ground connector is probably wrapped in electrical tape against the harness. Feel around for it.

    The earth connector for the 5G was bolted to the mainframe around the shock area. You should just be able to follow the earth cable from the battery negative to find it.
