The MHC should be mounted somewhere near the battery......... the DVD that comes with the kit shows it mounted at the back of the transmission, but this is for the ‘Chopper Kit’ with a big rear tyre and swingarm. It needs to be installed away from the hot engine and exhausts pipes. Reading ‘How to Build a Bobber on a Budget’ Jose installs his under the transmission……. So with the help from Tony (next door) we’ve made a steel plate and fitted the unit and the main circuit breaker directly below the tranny.

Hello just wondering with the kit does it have a bracket for the MHC or do u need to fab one. Just tryin to get an idea on how much cuttin and welding im gonna have to do. Thanks Alot Nick
ReplyDeleteHi Nick, the kit provides a paper template. I just made my bracket from a bit of steel plate i found in the shed, its well hidden so it hasnt got to look perfect. How you getting on with your bike?
ReplyDeleteI managed to get my MHC up in between the guard and oil tank as i chaned the mounting for the rear guard so the MHC is well hidden.
ReplyDeleteHi Mike, yep i noticed your fender mount, was that so you could get a better fit to the tyre? Would love to ask you loads of questions about the build.
