I've done some hunting on here plus on xs650chopper.com for photos of how people have done their electronics. I'm coming up with a couple of roadblocks on finidng a solution I like.
First of all most of the photos are either of peoples stock'ers or hardtails. I'm running a visiual impact brat kit on my bike hence the locations of the electronics doesn't really match up with either of these styles of bikes.
Second, the few bikes I can find photos of that are not stock or hard tailed shoe either a fake oil bag, harley style under the seat, or the electronics are open to the world and stashed in various locations on the bikes.
Last, the only one I've seen that I enjoy the idea of is under the swing arm but not attached to it. It's a box mounted to the down tube. My concerns with this idea are the closeness of the chain (read chain goes "NOM NOM NOM" on the box), how does it get mounted, if you need to replace a fuse seems it could be a pain in the rear, and I can't find really good close ups of the box.
My question to the site is does anyone have any other ideas or photo documentation of how they've done it? Bear in mind what I'm putting in there is a Cap replacement for the battery, fuses, and homebrew flasher relay built out of a 555 timer.
