    SH775 location help needed 81 1100e

    I am a firm believer in the SH775, have it on 3 bikes and looking to put one on the '81. However, I don't want to do anything that can't be easily reversed in case I find an eBay wacko that wants to give me 5k for it. On my '83 I put it on the backside of the plate from where the RR is normally mounted, and modified the airbox to fit around it. Anyone have a suggestion on the best place to mount on this? I was thinking the rear cowl, but the wiring would likely be too long, and no airflow. On a bracket where the horns are, still long wires but better airflow. The airbox is so big the locations are limited, and I don't have a working imagination, or great fabrication skills....

    You mean that you would remove the SH-775 before gouging the potential buyer? No, you must have mistyped! Anyway, here's my quickee spot- easy to check and remove. Don't worry about airflow- mine barely gets warm after 3 hours.

      I think he means that some wako willing to pay $5k would want it to be completely stock.

      Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

        I just did mine today (82 1100E) and installed it on the back side of the fusebox plate and was going to suggest that, but I see you figured it out before me. I have pod filters so have lots of room, hope you find a good spot that doesn't foul the airbox.

          I switched the positions of the ignitor and the R/R on my '80 1100E.

            The 80-81 unfortunately don't have that spot available. Great place for the 82-83 though!

              Exactly. The same guy that would pay $19k for a '73 Z-1. Now that we have seen a 24k mile '82 go for $6300 it is not impossible....
