On another note, the trailtech vapor/dash just came in, and the rear shock of a ninja 300 should be here in a day or so. I'm kind of enjoying the riding side of owning a motorcycle so I'm procrastinating installing everything for a bit.
I'm wondering if it might be a bad idea to stiffen the rear suspension without doing anything to the front? Would any improvements just flip flop on me and turn into a badly balanced bike?
and here's another picture. If you click on it you'll get a higher resolution and you can see where I mounted the rectifier underneath the brake fluid reservoir.

Be sure the electrical connection is sealed against moisture in that location. That's been a problem with the 650r, which has the R/R mounted just in front of the rear wheel.
