Where did everyone mount the capacitor?

[espi118]

I am at the point of mocking up where my electronics will go. I don't want to put the capacitor in the "box", but somewhere where it can get some air. At the same time, I want to keep a nice, clean feel to it all.

I have searched all over and I can't really find anything.

Can anyone give me some suggestions? Maybe a pic of what you did?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure if this would help, but try forum search on "mallory" and "sparx". Good luck...

Thanks TwoMany, ill give that a try.

If anyone has some pics of their setup, I would love to see them, thanks!

If you are going kick start only, put it where the starter motor was.

But here is a picture of mine currently. Thinking of putting it in the starter motor area.

If you are going kick start only, put it where the starter motor was.

That is a great idea, did not even think about that!

One question though, what about any kind of water getting on it? Do I really need to worry about that?

Thank for the idea!!!

Bump

What does everyone think about the water issue?

They are sealed cans. Don't think it will be a problem.

I mount mine under my seat.....

The thing is so small (Sparx) you could mount it about anywhere. I mounted mine under my café seat. If it continues to work as good as it has I may never use a battery again. I don't mind kickstarting at all. Besides batteries don't have a very long lifespan here in Arizona. Seems like the heat here takes it toll quicker on batteries than other places.

Mine is under my seat also, no problems so far.

Thanks everyone for your input. I am really looking forward to getting this all hooked up. Not having a battery cleans everything up nicely in the rear on a bobber, just my opinion though.

I am going to look into mounting it where the electric stater was. We will see how it goes I guess.
