Greetings, Savage owners  

Im in the beginning of stripping down my bike and relocating things, like the rectifier.. As it sits on the rear fender I was wondering if it also has it's ground through there..? Or is it possible to mount it on a plastic surface?

By the way im new to the forum, and I will be posting some pics of my progress of my project. Should I create a new post for that, and where's the appropriate place for it?

Ok thanks Serowbot

That sounds like a great solution.. The rectifier will get some cooling through the air coming through the filterbox, I imagine was the idea?

On my Ryca conversion, the r/r was relocated to the side of the Ryca battery box.  I initially had it bolted to the metal box, but was getting a short that would blow fuses every time I started.  Someone else on this board had experienced a similar problem, and his advice was to have some sort of insulation between the r/r and any metal mount.  I've remounted mine just using supervelcro, and no more shorts.
