oil reservoir 60 ml
Placed behind the right rear side panel. Wrapped in foam rubber and attached to the subframe with cable ties. The variable reservoir vent is also recommended.

switched 12 V supply
The switched positive is combined with the permanent positive and is tapped via the Cartool connector, as is the negative, and routed to the rear to the control unit.
rain switch
Mounted above the speedometer with an additional bracket. Nice and discreet, but still operable with gloves, and the LED is visible while riding.

Also under the seat bracket
