We did the same, but instead of glue, we used self-tapping sheet metal screws to mount the R/R mount to the airbox. Also, the ECU is now in the battery box with the Ballistic 4-cell dry battery.

Remounted the Vapor gauge

We recently made a new bracket and remounted the Trail Tech Vapor gauge in an offset position. Its a little more compact this way.
