Mounting solid state reg rec

<< < (2/3) > >>

Yamahawk:
That's a nice mount he made, but perhaps not the best spot as it is behind the engine and catches heat from it. It's also out of the air flow, unless the hot air mixes with cool as it swirls around behind the engine. You really want to keep the VR out in some type of cool air for longevity. Mine was hung behind the battery/reg/rectifier box by the PO, and has an 'L' bracket with spacer off the rear left side of the box, and then a bolt and spacer into the rear fender guard at the appropriate spot. There should be enough air there to cool it, and it fits ok. If I get a chance, later today I will post a picture of it.

Here is a pic of the VR mounted to the back of the battery box and the fender  splash guard.

A few different battery boxes over the years, most people mount it to the underside of the battery box. Loads of room  ;)

Underdog1:
I ended up just altering the battery box a little bit and mounted it here:



I reckon there’s enough air flow behind the side panel to keep it cool.

As for the underside, I indent to mount a transistorised ignition under there so it’s occupado  :)

Also got a bladed fuse box to make a mount for.

Pimp my battery box!

That looks like the perfect place
