Mine is on the left side of the bike down by the side stand location.
Came that way..

If you go the profession route. Insist on see there work.
HOW do they extend the wires, solder and heat shrink? What gauge wire will they use.
I've seen too many mechanics who can not wire to save there lives, they take money so are call professionals LOL.

Using connectors that plug into the stock harness and rectifier would be the cleanest way to go.

 

Do you have a picture? I would love to see.

And definitely not worried about my mechanic. He goes on the road as a mechanic with MotoAmerica, beating factory teams with engines built in his garage.

 

OP, sorry if this takes the discussion off topic..... why do you want to move it? I presume it's in the same location as on my 09, in the right fairing cheek? Pretty good airflow in that location.....

 

For the 13+ its actually on the clutch side and it mounts to the fairings. This is a major pain in the ass for someone like me that uses the bike for track and street that is constantly swapping fairings. I have to basically remove the R/R from its mount. Remove the mount from the fairings. Put the R/R back into the mount, and then I simply just ziptie it to my track fairings. But then I have to put the fairings on and move the R/R to the right spot while plugging it in and making sure it doesn't wedge a certain way that prevents me from bolting down the fairings. I actually finally stripped one of the fairing mount threads because of it being off center because of the R/R was in the wrong spot so I decided I'm done with it, want to relocate it.

 

My 13 has a dumb weird 3 off angle brackets that mounted to the main left fairing nexr to radiator.

I just duplicated the spot a little lower basically maximizing the wire harness length, 2x quick holes and ziptie that bitch in there.

I too was going to open the wire harness and stick it in the tail/subframe.

But thats like 1+ hr of work to get it all nice and cleaned.... fuck dat

 

I had mine setup the same way, no cutting or changing the harness. Literally a 30 minute max solution.

 

Not sure how similar the harnesses between the 09-12 and the 13+ are, but I was able to locate mine under the tail section without extending the wires on my 09. The lead from the stator was easy and plenty long. The lead from the harness took a little bit of work but nothing crazy. Obviously the harness needed pulled back a good bit and although I didn't have to extend the wires, I did have to cut the plug off just to free the three wires from the rest in the harness to give me enough slack. Hope this provides some insight for ya.-Steven

They aren't anywhere close to the same location.
