I wired my 55 as a 54 so that's not much help
I do not know the correct way, but it seems that the wiring go's from the dashbase between the fuel tanks behind the hornbracket to the horn terminals

i can't be much help either. i just ran mine down from the dash.

you might try contacting Matt Olsen, he has a '55 he is assembling.

check out his blog http://oldbikesinsd.blogspot.com/2014/0 ... hotos.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looking at this '54 police unit the wire appears to go under the motor mount very much like you have it.
