Default Relocation of ignition module?

My wife has a 2004 883. She is very vertically challenged and we have done A LOT to try and compensate for this, low shocks cut an extra .375 of an inch, White Bros. lowering blocks added to rear shocks, 2 inch drop kit for the front. She has a Mustang solo seat and it has .75 inch bumpers to space the seat off of the module. Has anyone relocated this and if so, where? I can take a .25 inch out of the bumpers and still be off of the module, but would like to move it and then remove the bumpers all together. Gonna cut down the sides of the seat to help her legs seem longer. Any ideas would be considered and greatly appreciated.

I replaced these studs that help secure the oil bag and hold your ICM in place with some shorties from Lowes for a few nickels....



Ziptied the ICM to the batter tie-down. Doesn't move or anything. Should still have room to put your side cover back on with no issues.

I was wondering about room under that cover. If it worked for you, it should work for us. Thanks.

There is room, but not much. I had to position ours differently than Streetfighter did. The '04 module was shaped slightly different. It took several hours of head scratching, but we got it. Whatever works best for your bike.
