Good point Rick. My license late mount is much like his taillight mount and I had to rubber-mount it heavily. At first it vibrated so badly that you couldn't read the tag.....really, ask Jeff. It actually cracked my rear fender!!! I remounted it with rubber inserts, and put a solid aluminum plate behind the tag to damp the vibration.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Jason,
Thats a nice, clean installation of the triggers. Do you have the rotor for it...I had a little bit of a tough time getting the cam off. Had to heat it and use a flywheel puller. She screamed a bit and then...gave up the ghost.
Nice metal work on the iggy box holder. Where are you planning on locating it?
Keep those updates coming.

Yes I have the rotor but I cannot install it yet. My points cam came off easily, but the replacement keyed spacer that the rotor bolts onto was missing from my kit. Marcel is going to fix me up soon on that I hope. I would have had it timed up already if not for the setback. I hope I can get it straightened out soon as the part has to come a long way.
The iggy box has already been welded to the front of the battery box. Since the stock airbox is gone it seemed like a natural place to put it. I tried lots of different options but that is what I ended up with.
Still waiting on parts....but making progress

Jason:
You may want to put a bunch of airholes in that iggy holding box and maybe a couple of pieces of antivibration foam between the iggy and the holding box. Semiconductors hate heat AND/OR vibration and I assume that whoever made the iggy box itself has used the box body as a heat sink/radiator of some sort.

I wouldn't do that, Jason, because the foam would act as a heat insulator. What I would do is glue a strip of foam to the long bottom side of the iggy box to suspend it from the bottom surface of the "container box". Then I'd glue a couple of foam strips on both long sides of the top end of the iggy box.I was going to pack it in with foam
That way the iggy box would be isolated from the container box vibration-wise but you'd still have plenty of surface area on the iggy box to act as a radiator/heat sink.

Elbert,
No mounting clips with my unit and I don't think I would have clearance with my subframe. But thank you for the input.
Richard.
2" hole saw?? I think the scale of the picture may be misleading since the height from the top to the bottom of the boxed in part is only 1.625"
Anyway here is a picture of what I ended up with. There are holes in the bottom, back, front, and each side. It will be somewhat in the wind also with the location so I am going to bolt it in. I made it with a good 3/16-1/4 extra clearance on all sides to allow room for air and some foam.
Marcel said he has shipped the missing replacement cam to mount the timing rotor so I can't wait for that to get here so I can complete the installation.
