I just got it to mock up a mounting soultion for folks wanting to run the FCS. I actually just got my WOLO Bad Max last week and started messing with it the other day, seperated the compressor and it looks like it will mount fine behind the OEM horn cover, probably mount the compressor up in the fairing. Anyway, I'll get after it soon as I can.

It won't be long, you can see there is clearance between the FCS and the MB5 horn housing, they will "move" together on the rubber isolator, so as long as they have any clearance they should not contact one another, I'm seeing at leat 1/8" right now, just gotta come up with a custom fastner solution, or alternate isolator, if the OEM isolater stud was longer it would be a non-issue. Looks like the combo will push the horn outboard about 5/8", the thickness of the fan mount, probably not noticeable in operation. What ever I come up with will work with the MB2 also, I pulled it off the shelf and mocked it up too. I just need more time.

I'm very interested in this thread, I'm thinking about getting a mini beast also, kind of wondering will one of the new XR series fit since they are a little smaller.

Jason, any pics of how it would look with the MB2? The tail on the 2 may look a little funky with the right fan.

The XR looks like it will mount with the same solution as well, but the fans might just be completely, visually unshrouded, a good thing. I'm trying to find a M/F isolator to replace the OEM double male stud type, I think that will be the easiest solution for the end user with no hacking, drilling, tapping, and the likes.

I'm on the fence,I have the MB "football" horn and I think that would be a real mounting problem!

If it has a basically flat back, like the others, it should work the same.

Little less clearance but it does have clearance, and could be tweaked a little to gain if necessary. The rear is visually shrouded but airflow is not blocked, should perform fine.
