hell if i know
« on: January 08, 2008, 09:47:16 PM »

I have a 1800FF and on the exhaust mounting arm there is a electrical box or something. I was wondering what it was, and if anyone has ever moved it, and where is the best place to put it? I am wanting to take off the mounting arm and do away with it. Any suggestions?    ???

They change the AC produced by your charging system to DC that you use for your electrical system.

You can move it you just have to make sure the splicing of the cable is good. and that you are using the same type of cable as stock wire.  O0

Atleast thats the way it was on my old sport bike.

Oh yeah, assburns are fer hed akes, must have been thinkin' bout grape nuts.  Or is that what you get when you slide on the Cranberries fault??
All this is due to circumcisions beyond my control and I am sure it is for immortal porpoises.

But, I would like to see a pic of the exhaust, also........ O0

If you have it on Photobucket or some other host, just post the link....we can get to it.  O0

P.S.  I just put a pic on here (and removed it), it is working fine.  If you are using Photobucket, just copy the [*img*]http://pic[*/img*] link and put that in your post (without the *'s).  Check the Preview and you should see your pic if it worked.
