Hi there,

I'm doing some wiring stuff on my first bobber project. I want to make a box to put the electrics in. Can anyone tell me what you'd normally put inside this box? Fuses? ignition.. coil? CDI? starter? regulator?

Is there anything you shouldn't put in there (ie, stuff that needs to be outside to keep it cool?)

Sorry for noob question - still lots to learn ^^ Thanks ~

I think all of the above, if you could fit them all in?
Not sure bout the regulator tho, I guess it depends what bike it is - Sportster voltage regulators are at the front with cooling fins on them

Hey Brett. Bike is a 450 Rebel. Yeah im leaving the battery on the side so space will be tight. Thinking I might leave the regulator and coil on the outside, but hide them between the battery and electrical box, or fix them underneath down where the puke tube sits. Anyway cheers for the reply mate
