Rectifier relocation kit

The guy doing the cad / photo work got me the photos / images of the rectifier relocation bracket.
The first is a 3D cad of the rectifier and bracket.
The second is the 3D photoshopped onto my bike... Not real.. but looks good!

A couple of questions/comments.
Is the bracket made out of steel or aluminum.. I think aluminum would be better as it would work as a better heat sink
IF this is the finished product, it would look better if it were black anodized.

I was thinking of doing a poll but Im with you on that.
Aluminum. and i can get it anodized in many colors but black is what i expect.
Other material would be Stainless Steel
Other colors would be:
Clear
Blue

I'd buy an aluminum one in anodized blue. When do you think these will be ready for sale?

I like it already!

Good idea, Len! Gives it some supprt and additional heatsinking.

I am liking it.
Bolted to the frame will act like an additional heat sink

Add a little thermal paste and there should be no more problems !!! Looks Great Len

Looks Great! Looks like that's going to do the job.

I have run temperature rise tests on the relocation that Jim Tindall and I did on our R/R units. If you want temp data on the same unit on this bracket, I will gladly remount the unit and take data.

Hi All,

I have an idea for a relocation mount and a better heat sink. I am a mechanical designer and I use AutoCad, Solid Works, and mostly Pro Engineer for my designing software. I heard that Honda has a great R/R but they did not supply enough heat sink or fin area to the case. If we could get enough members that would be interested I would design and create a print for a mounting kit that is made out of extruded aluminium that is heat sink material. I could get some quotes or if any of you guys have a friend that has a machine shop you could. The problem with the idea is you have to purchase a 8' piece to get a good price. We could get maybe 32 pieces from one bar. We could machine out the middle to fit the r/r and lose all that surface area or mount it on the back and use long 8-32 SHCS for the mounting. I have a 1st Gen and mine is mounted in a different location. You might be able to order a saw cut piece from McMasterCarr but you will pay Obama prices.

Check out this machine shop ONLINE! Design and they will make it

I'm thinking of sending a drawing of a mount to move the VTX light foreward a bit. They can make anything and send it to you. http://www.emachineshop.com/

Chad Greg has the mounts to move the VTX light already give him a shout!!!
