    Indicator control unit mounting point

    On taking my 1000S to bits the indicator box was dangling in behind the battery on a piece of string. (note - not the flasher unit but the box about the size of a packet of cigarettes - the 'indicator control unit'). Does anyone know how and where is it meant to be mounted properly 'cos I can't figure it out?

      Thanks Steve - I'll have a look in my 'big box of bits' to see if I can find something. I won't be re-using the string!

        Just wrap the box in a couple of wraps of sticky backed insulation foam such as commonly used in doorways. That will isolate the box from vibration and then "strap" it in place with a large wire tie. Some models of GS have a mount blade that is welded to the top right side of the frame directly under the lright rear of the gas tank about 4 inches forward of the #3 carb.
