Relocated my Cruise Control Module

I think fact there is airflow at all through there, preheated or not, is a good thing - & still serve to lower the inherent heat produced by the devices
 
The new regulator doesn't fit there. That's why we have to move it, and move it so we don't have to do any re-wiring (since the new one is plug 'n play except for the form factor.
 
Yes it's bigger by an estimable amount, and I mounted mine on the side as others did thinking this to be expeditious which it was. Yet, I may fuss around and see what I could come with if I get one hole of the new RR screwed in and hope for serendipity with the other hole. It may be a matter not just of accommodating both holes, but that there just is no room for the Suzuki RR in the stock location.
 
I continually play with thought of approx similar location but mounted at about 45 to vertical with plane of fender vs flat as is now
Absence of bike to play with makes it no more than just uneducated guess however
@Mittzy pretty creative about these things however so suspect if could have been accommodated he would have come up with way to do that

I don't know what the specs actually are for this one but from other Shindengen devices they have spec for temp v current in static environment and another for even quite moderate airflow
And I can tell you for sure that 40 deg C air (which is pretty hot) is NOTHING compared to survivable Temps of the devices themselves which are going to be well over 100

Don't worry about the device being 'warm' - or even 'hot' - clearly you don't want it seriously hot but doubt if it will get there even with considerable accessory load
Old SCR shunt type r/r would run so hot you could easily give yourself burn if touched it!!
Yes this one will be 'hotter' than the OEM module because of the type of devices used - that does not necessarily make it vulnerable
 
Well, given the fabrication skills of some of our captains, it could be done.

The stock R/R is in a U-shaped bracket on it's side, such that the wide part of the R/R "bottom" is parallel to the ground and mounted to the bottom of the U bracket, and the finned heat sink side "top" is facing up.

The top part of the U has the tip-over sensor.

There's no reason someone with reasonable fabrication metal bending skills (which I don't have) couldn't make a bracket with a slight wider 'U' (more open) so there would be room for the taller Shindengen SH847 R/R to sit where the stock R/R is placed, and so the tip-over sensor would be raised ever so slightly while still maintaining the same orientation for design function.

If any one does this, I sure would like to know about it, and ask them to make ten such brackets for those of us who have already installed SH847 and folks who are going to.

Any takers ? @Bedifferent ??
 
I don't know if I can go that particular route, but I am sure going to have my head underneath to see what if anything is possible. I am still using a zip tie to hold it in under the left cover, and if it must stay I am going to have to fab a proper bracket so it doesn't look jerry rigged, which in all honesty it is.
 
I installed the cruise control module under the right side cover, attached to the ECU - per instructions for bikes with evaporative canister. Serendipitous I suppose, as when the better R/R came along, I removed the canister and yours now looks like mine. :whitstling:

EDIT: I *WISH* mine looked as good as yours.

On second thought I may just mount the regulator in the stock location.
Won't fit the new one is too big - I also have a spare air box with the he battery frame and brackets - I could not see an easy way to fit it there
