Like a dummy I cut up my ignition bracket and now I'm wondering where to mount my fuse box and the best I can come up with is to replace my ignition bracket and mount the fuse box in the original location.
I don't need the plastic cover just the metal bracket. Let me know if anyone has one that they could let go of.
I'm thinking $25 for the bracket plus shipping but if that's not enough we can talk more about pricing

That's sort of an odd part to have on a shelf, bet if you called Pinwall they'd have one. They have salvage bikes they could pull one off of.
Just thinkin'.

I do have access to one but my bracket is beyond repair due to the 1/2 inch think blade i use on my angle grinder.
Pinwall says he might have one hes gonna call me back.
The only reason I need one is because I am not sure where else i can mount the fuse box. Ive done the air box removal and Moved the battery but im starting to get into some trouble with hiding the wiring. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A expanded metal tray mounted to the frame just below the front seat has worked for a few of us. Zip strip the wires down in an organized fashion to the tray in a way they look good and can't move about, so there is no wear to the insulation.

Well it seems like the fuse box is just a smidge too big to fit under the seat now that the battery is there. The starter relay is kinda in the way as well...
this metal tray is mounted to the frame on the engine side or the rear fender side?

well dang man i might have to frankenstien this thing back together. I see a new battery tray assembly is more than 100 bucks so that kinda out of the question right now. I feel like ive seen a picture of an exposed ignition without the fuse box next to it but i cant find it. If i could id just ask him where he mounted his fuse box

A metal tray that lays flat in the frame and under the seat above where the airbox used to be. Your wires (majority) were a top the airbox, which is now removed, now build a shallow box or tray for those wires to lay in and sheetmetal screw or weld in place. Peeps would have to get on their chin to see them up in there. Need to access them, pull the seat. Clone the way your solenoid was mounted to the airbox out of 14 gauge steel and find a spot to weld that in on or near your steel battery mount and whatever else needs rigid mounting in your opinion, a wire brush and some black touch up paint and you are done. I have always had a hard time explaining things unless I'm right there with a pencil and a pad of blank paper. If you don't have a carb brace make or buy one because your filters will keep working themselves loose without. Use soaking wet old towels or rags to capture the inevitable sparks from any on bike grinding/welding, much like you would to do for some spot paint spraying. One more thing, there are good quality cut off discs available for 4-5 inch side grinders that only remove a 16th" kerf of metal when cutting and always wear your safety glasses.
