GS450 - Is it safe to relocate Ignitor box?

[Jestercinti]

Got a new Electrosport ESR100 R/R for the 82 GS450 yesterday. Upon installing, I realize that the new one is about 2 times as big as the stock R/R...even had to buy longer screws. Now my Ignitor won't fit on the bracket cause the new R/R is too big!

I relocate the Ignitor box to the other side of the bike (closest to the negative battery terminal) and ground directly to the battery. I started up the bike, so I know that it runs with the Ignitor on the other side. I am not an electrician, is it safe to relocate this?

Yup.

As long as its securely fastened, the connectors are good and there are no pinched, twisted or cracked lines you'll be good to go.

Post a pic so others can see what you did. Might help someone else in the future.

cheers,

I will post some pics soon to let others see what I did. Probably not the "cleanest" mount, but good enough for me!
