My Bimbo got treated to the same set up last winter Jonathan and its made a massive difference in how she runs. Starts first touch of the button and more punch in the acceleration, was £200 well spent in my book.

I got the bracket from Motorworks at the same time as the electric bean can and ICU. I'm working away until Friday, but if Jonathan doesn't have one I can take a photo of mine when I get home.

Here is what my ICU mounting bracket looks like
It is welded to the top tube unlike some that are bolted.

Interesting, my 84 has a completely different mount. If you ever need to fit the new "Heavy Duty" module you are going to have your work cut out as you have limited space in which to fit an adapter and I suspect the width might defeat you.

This is how I mounted mine
I made an adapter plate
It just barely fits with   3mm clearance between it and the tank.
I don't think it would work with the stock voltage regulator

Well, the new ICU comes with a new support.
If you look at the support, it has a place to put the ICU and two holes to put the screws to the bike support.
This way, the ICU is at 45 ° from the center spine and fits.
I can't post photos of mine because the bike is at a mere 20 000 km from me  ;D and my arms are not sol long..

If you are using an AGM battery, it's best to dump the OEM VR and swap in a newer electronic VR that provides a charge rate near 14.2 volts. Just what the AGMs like. Plus, you'll open up some install space under the tank.

I did dump the OEM reg If you look at the second picture you will see a Delco Remy Reg from a 10SI alternator.

Like Tony said there is no holes to mount the new style bracket

That's what I did, I upgraded the VR to a Euromotoelectrics type which is adjustable and pumps more ziggies. That's what started this whole process! that then the Coil then Bang

I got the bracket with the new ICU but no space, even with the new VR fitted. In the end I just fitted it with one of the holes and it twists to fit under the Tank.

Will take tank off and photo but working for now!
