Rear End and Wire Management

After the rear light was wired up, everything else needed to be altered to be able to fit in the new subframe and on the undertray.
Firstly the rectifier needed to be moved. As with all rectifiers, they get HOT, so it needs to be located in vented place. I didnt want the rectifier to be visible as i didnt want the clean look of the bike to be compromised. So with the rear fairing i have chosen which is from a cbr600rr, it has air vents up by the pillion seat which would be a perfect place to locate the rectifier so that its hidden but gets the sufficient air flow to cool the unit down. 
To make this possible the wires to the unit need to be extended. An extra 250mm (approx) of 30 amp wire was added to the 7 wires of the unit. The unit then cabled tied in position.
The Earth cable also needed to be extended aswell as the 4 neutral wires leading to the battery. All other wires are put into position and units like the ecm/ecu and relays are Velcro-ed into place on top of heat resistant foam. A Battery cover was made to finish.  


So heres a sneak peek of the vfr800rr rear end. Its not been cleaned and a few other finishing touches need to be made but I think shes lookin good :)
