    Where the child restraints bolt on from the top, Use that spot and that bolt from the bottom... Assuming you aren't using the child restraints, that is.

    Or sand back where the middle seat bolts onto the chassis, use that bolt there

    I'm not sure if the VR-VS are same as earlier models, but with the VN-VP, i remove the rear seat,and you will see a number of holes in the frame to choose from.I've always used these, even without sanding them back sometimes,simply find a suitable size bolt, using an o-ring on the earth wire, and i've never had any issues.I've run some fairly large amps this way also.I'll use a different hole for each earthing point though, not that it probably makes any differnce.
