For those of you that have bobbed your rear fender and are riding naked (no fender) where did you relocate your solenoid rectifier? Pics if you got em please

haven't gotten that far yet, but i think i might put it on the fender between swing arm if i decide to bob the fender. or since i work in a machine shop, just might make a bracket for it.

So, what happens when the rear tire runs thru some water, or wet sand & gravel?

No too many wet days here. And I don't ride in the rain as my savage is just my "weekend fun toy" if there's loose Rocks on the ground then that might hurt! The rear fender is just a bit fugly, so I wanna take it off while I think about if I want to just do a brat style bobber keeping the stock springs and frame, or if I'll use my tax return to go all out and getting a hard tail welded on. Either decision will have a fender though

Nothing. It all gets wet, cools down a bit and keeps charging!  ;)

Finally,, a totally rideable bobber.

If I was gonna Bob,, thats how Id go at it. That suits me fine, as long as I could figure out a sanitary way to hook some bags on so I could run to town & haul stuff home, then be able to take it all off & not have it look messy with attachment points & such.

I put a tach in the pickup. Wanted it up on the dash, but didnt want to muss anytyhing up, so, I built a bracket outta some real hard wire & secured it under a screw head thats exposed down in the defrost air outlet. Took about 12 hours to figure it all oput, bend it to fit, & get the wiring all done. Hooked up the oil pressure gauge & tach lites to the dimmer switch that runs the dash lites. Pretty sanitary installation.

This is where i put my rectifier.  it does require drilling out the holes on the rectifier and using a tap for the screw holes on the frame but it is on there snug.
