For some reason I love the bones without a rear fender but without the front fender it just looks too goofy for me. The forks are just too skinny to run without something in there. I think the small fender they have is perfect but some bikes look nice without front or rear fenders.

Right now it looks like I'm going to put the ECM in a tool bag and secure it between the groove of the fender and battery cover. We'll see how that looks and works. What is the issue your having with the ECM under the battery cover? That was another option I was looking at.

Hhhmmm, I'm gonna look into that. I'd rather not put a tool bag there if I can put the ECM somewhere else. Do you have any pictures? I'd like the see a visual if possible. Thanks for the tip.

Its just so high up the stock cover and the new one from shadetree wouldnt fit. It clears the seat without the cover but with the cover in place it pushed up so much the seat would never fully lock onto the posts.
Im going to try to get some black leather like what runs down the tank and continue on with it under the cover. I try not to ride in the rain if I know a storm is coming but now I can honestly say I cant ride in the rain. Dont want any electrical gremlins to pop up.
My next issue is rear turn signals.

I just made some brackets tonight so I can mount my turn signals. I'll be mounting them between the struts and frame, I'm using Auto-Gems Mini Bullets. I"ll be doing that next weekend, along with relocating the front headlight.

It's a Rolands Sands Tracker fender and struts (part #710-122) and the heat wrap is COOL IT Thermo Tech , light brown (part #450-305). I got both at J&P cycles.
