I don't have a lot of photos yet, because I can't get outdoors or under the bike easily, but my idea with the electric system was that there's a lot of weight to be saved by using a Shorai battery and locating it and the starter solenoid as close to the starter as possible. The stock battery weights 11 lbs! To that end, I mounted the Shorai under the swing arm with a homemade aluminum battery box, and relocated the solenoid to a splash plate between the rear downtubes. This allowed me to shorten the heavy-gauge starter wires and hide the wiring between the frame tubes under the seat.
I like the Ryca because of the weight removed from the stock bike (more than 60 lbs), and using the Shorai saves another 9 or 10 lbs.
Here's the battery:
Here's what's above it. The solenoid is below the rectifier, under the black aluminum plate:
Under the tarp is a BMW R Nine T Pure with a few mods, mostly to clean up the appearance and save a little weight.
