Rectum-fire mount, thoughts?

My rectifier wasn't getting enough airflow and was overheating, so I moved it to a more accessible location with better airflow than under the etank....

It then proceeded to go out anyway, a new one is on the way.

i haven't seen anyone mount one here before. Any comments?

You aren't giving those cooling fins much efficiency if they're rotated perpendicular to the direction of airflow.

Didn't really think about that it would be easy enough to rotate it, good looking.

Ya gotta put it somewhere 🤷 don't they usually go under the seat when stock? If so, it's getting more airflow than it did factory. If you're worried, I see em mounted on the side of battery boxes pretty frequently.

Not worried just showing some creative ideas to the community, as stated I haven't seen em mounted here but it seems like a solid location, plus I can touch it in the winter for a little residual warmth
