Mounting SH775 on a samller bike

[BajaGuy]

Hi everybody.

I was just bitten by the R/R gremlin. Following the sage advice of many many forum members I've ordered an SH775 online and while waiting for it to arrive I decided to read up on it on-line. Well, now I'm a little worried about the new R/R's bigger size and finding a good mounting location on my GS550L. Where have you all mounted yours? Descriptions, diagrams and pictures are welcome, especially from smaller motorcycle models.

Thank you in advance.

Since i had to make my own ignitor for my 650g, i had room to mount it where the old ignitor was, since i moved the ignitor to the underside of the battery box

On my 850 it fit under the box where the original R/R was located. Don't know if it would work on a 550 though.

Get creative! Here's my sh775 upside down under rear gas tank support

It fits on my 550T in the same spot as the old R/R sat;

Now there's a spot I hadn't thought of. Thanks for the hint. I'll check out under the tank once the SH775 arrives.

Your T shouldn't be too different from my L. I hadn't even considered it may fit in the same spot. I'll definitely check it out.
Thank you

I put it where my air box lid used to be

So you use the R/R as a lid for the airbox? Or did you move the airbox to a new place?

I was already running without a lid so I used the space
