question for the fighter lads

Post by CB_Phil »

So Finally decided to get to work on the VTR & start changing her up. Just waiting for a few things to arrive & I pick up some metal.
So for now Im in the planning stage & the question is, Im trying to decide how to go about tidying up under the seat, as I want to change all that. Im just wondering how you changed it round, like where you stuck the ECU ect as there doesnt seem to be enuf room to mount it on tip of the battery like I originally planned
Cheers lads :thumbup:

Not a fighter lad, but if you re-site the RR to the top of the battery, you could put the ECU there?
Change to stick coils, and you lose the rear coil, which frees up enough space.

Obviously you also lose the front one as well, but you're interested in underseat space ATM.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

The RR space wont be there as Im removing the front & rear plastics. Only other thing Im thinking is making a spot just behind the battery box, if I make a new under try.
But the coil idea might be a gower :thumbup:
Also, I have nothing over or holding the battery in place & looks like there should be a cover over it?

Swap the battery for one of those light weight racing lithium cells and use the rest of the space to put all the ecus

Might cost a bit, but solves all the space problems

I modified the rear subframe into a stainless box to house all the electrics.

1. Yes, but you have to put two together, and
2.no, because BSM spends every second of every day with his sniper program at the ready, never sleeping, never blinking, ready to pounce on a penny under list, no matter how far, river deep, mountain high, or taking the low road, staring straight into the heart of the setting sun, focussed and ready, finger on the trigger (no, not the OFAH one) cunning and guile set to stun, waiting, waiting, waiting for that chance, that one slim chance, to, at just the right moment, that one exquisite moment, just as the countdown is reaching zero, to stretch out a finger, poised with anticipation, and caress, yes, yes caress the "buy" button, just half a second in front of me, the b8stard.
