John,
Open the link in post #3 and see how I approached the mounting.
Here are a couple I hope they help Mike.@ Steven Hill. Chop the plate to a minimum around the key switch if you don't like the size of the plate. It has nothing to do with heat distribution. I'm running an Alton starter and we are rewiring the whole bike. The old podtronics was inside the battery box velcro to the battery. Just trying to clean things up a bit. With the Alton kit they also give you some type of funky mount for their starter relay. We are going to go with the mounting plate from the MK3 and an old Ford starter relay. Pics enclosed. The turn signal relay will probably go inside the headlight shell. Velcro or velcro strap will be used to mount the battery. There was an Old Post on here about shindigen mounting but the post was closed. I was just trying to present our idea.
This is the Alton starter relay. It sits on top of the battery.
Looks quite neat, but the unit is sitting in the slipstream of the engine, and will get quite warm. I had a Boyer Powerboat mounted in the same place, and it's died. I don't know for certain if the hear had nothing to do with it, but the replacement Lucas unit is going onto a bracket to mount just in front of the LH rear shock, where it's in a cooler position.
John,
Thanks Dan,
That's your call, I'm not worried about heat. What is a Boyer Powerboat? Sorry to hear that it fried.
. We could just use longer wires, and I could velcro it to my helmet for maximum cooling, along with my Go Pro and night vision goggles. What do you think? Just teasing
