Works without bolting. But you don't want that thing jiggling around.

Kawasaki reg/rec units have a ground wire which must be connected to ground the unit. If you carry it in your pocket, don't forget to remove it when dismounting the bike.

Not a problem for us sometimes forgetful but otherwise truly brillant guys using a lengthy spiral coiled ground wire. :lol:

And also allows easy access to the cement driveway for sanding the more delicate engine components. :)
