Thanks for the useful thread.

Here's a pic of my test cover. They cut easily with a hacksaw (spray WD-40 on teeth to avoid clogging) if that's all ya have.

I found the rod in the manual setup dragged on my starter drive lever (the stock noid setup has more slop) and was able to cover the clutch basket and adjacent area with a shop rag then easily grind more clearance in the installed lever. Beat pulling my stock FXS oil bag to remove the lever.

I Installed one of them on my Shovelhead several years ago and it went together slick as c_m on a gold tooth. It's basically nothing more than a manual solenoid. Most expensive starter switch I ever bought and worth every penny.

Where in the smeg do you mount the big starter relay you're supposed to have bought to go with this thing?

You're the first person to read this thread in 4 years. I don't think you're going to get any response,

Bottom of the battery box towards back end is the usual spot. You will need to find or make some cables if want a decent clean setup.

Ah. Well, considering this bike has an aftermarket setup, I'm going to have to scratch myself with a lug wrench for a bit to think of something.
