That's beautiful man and in a proper colour for once, I was trying to look at the wiring route past the airbox but I can't quite see high enough but looking at yours it seems your battery box and airbox are sitting lower than mine noticable by the top solenoid bolt, mine is hard up against the frame so I was wondering what size your battery box mounting rubbers are as I suspect the aftermarket ones i've got are holding my box too high, any ideas?
