Package arrived - new ICU is mammoth sized and won't mount on stock OEM ICU location unless I build a bracket - anyone install the Alpha system or simiar and where did you mount ICU? Â - may have to fabricate an "L" shaped bracket. *You can see in picture that heat sink when mounted on stock plate sticks up above frame and probably will interfere with tank fitting on frame. If I drill 2 holes through aluminum, it should fit but seeking to come up with a better idea.
New wiring harness is different than OEM and is also used on converting a points bike to electronic ignition - my question is on existing coil, there are 4 wires - 2 green striped and 2 black - are both green and black wires coming from the same place and can I simply pull one of each and replace with the green and black wire on new harness? Â there also is a brown ground wire that attaches to frame.
Existing OEM ignition harness plugs into bean can, ICU and a 3 prong white plug that comes off main wiring harness - does the green striped and black wire go to the frame - will use voltmeter and if I get continuity between wire on harness to coil, will replace with new wires on new harness.
FWIW, Rick Jones now carries this exact same bean can with replaceable Hall sensor on end of can - apparently I found the new model before Rick had posted it on his site. Â It's a slick design.
Will keep you posted as I progress with installation - was hoping it would be a "breeze" but taking time as usual!
