title says it all. i was told to mount it where the old rectifier came off. seems like the ventilation/cooling would be lacking there. i was going to mount it on a piece of heavy angle bolted to the rear of the battery box but before i go about reinventing the wheel i'd figure i'd ask. thanx, rick
where to mount podtronics vr/rectifier

i wound up mounting it right where the old rectifier came off. it slipped right in but for now i've only got it mounted w/ one bolt. there's a bolt head interference there but the bottom of the podronics has a hollow space that almost clears. this winter i'll mount a plate w/countersink and use that bolt to mount it. i'll drill and tap the plate to mount the podtronics. getting close to firing it up.

here's my solution: mind you, the bike was trashed and after installing an e-bay battery tray, I knew I was re-wiring the whole bike anyway , so this solved a variety of problems for me: It also allowed me to add a 4 fuse block on the back side of this plate:
looks pretty good and makes the battery compartment much more weather-proof.....

I stole the idea from 71basketcase and did a very similar thing on mine except the plate wraps around a bit further and I moved the battery right to the back. My ignition switch sticks out of the left side and I mounted the podtonics on the right under the oil tank. There is also a fuse box and a relay for the horn behind the plate. I found I could get rid of quite a bit of extra wiring by having everything in the same place.

you can't see it from this perspective, but the plate wraps right around the battery compartment : makes a nice clean look too IMHO
