So.. it grounds through the case. So what?
If you can bolt it to the fender on the bike, then you are good to go. Or bolt a wire to the case and run that to the black/white (ground) wire for the solenoid.
As long as you can put it somewhere, and get the wires to it in a manner that they won't short against something, and it has enough current capacity to carry the starter load, it will work.
Check ebay too. Search for "suzuki (savage, s40, ls650) solenoid"
