Please post pictures of electronics setup under cafe hump

[cjrenick]

I have been searching a couple days now and have seen a few. But, there has to be alot more ideas out there. I need to start thinking about how I am going to mount them on my CL350 build. From what I have found you can do a pan, but there can be an issue with travel of the back tire. I have a fiberglass cafe seat from Slipstream. My other issue is that I can not weld. Could probably find a local rider to help me weld something up if that is what is comes to.

Thanks!

Here was mine on my 450. A bit messy but I cleaned it up a little with some zip ties.

The tray was raised up for clearance:

Is that welded on?

 

[Flugtechnik]

Yes

Here's mine.

Toast, looks good I will have to look through your build thread to get more details on how you did it.

Toast, Just read through your build. Man you have some enginuity. I really like what you did to make the tank fit. For someone that does not have a welder you have found a way around that. I give you mad props! My question is on your electronics pan. Do you have anything bolted on there that needs to be grounded? Just wondering how the grounding will work since the pan is attached to frame with the clamps that have rubber around them. Also, how is the seat supported if it has to be raised up off the rails? I do not think I can go this route because my seat only goes over the rails by about 1/2 inch. So I could not raise enough to put electronics under seating area. Will only be able to work under the hump. Again great job Toast! Also wondering if you plasti dipped those spokes black? I did rims on my car and love the stuff. I will be using it on some of the stuff on my build. Might even paint the tank and seat with it. I could have a new paint scheme every year, lol.

Thanks! ;D

To support to seat I used two flat pieces of aluminum (front and back) that have holes drilled so that it can lay flat and be held in place by the hitch pins. They are just kinda sandwiched between the rubber stopper on the mount and the bottom of the seat.

With the electrics, the Eastern Beaver fuse box has a big ground from the battery and everything is powered/grounded off of that.

I did some plastidip stuff on my old fork legs and mag wheels but the spokes were powder coated when I bought them.

This was my first attemp, I've been thinking about doing a fiberglass tray so I cant get my electronics lower and more discreet. I like the barebones, raw and dirty look, but I want clean lines...I guess that mumbojumbo makes sense.

This is a Knight flat track seat without much room to hide the electronics, so I riveted an aluminum panel directly to the seat pan.


The frame got tabs for seat mounting and also the capacitor and flasher relay.


Everything is still easily accessible, but out of sight.

All the batteries is soo small, which small batt. Is the Best?
