CB500/550 electrical panel with combo reg/rec

 Show me how you mounted a combination regulator/rectifier on a 500/550 electrical panel. Looking for a neat way to mount it.

On the back side between the panel and the battery box.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

This one obviously doesn't use the airbox so I mounted it here so it hopefully sees a little cooling airflow. It's an Oregon part.

 Are you using the stock plenum? Is there room? It seems like it would hit the air box, but I don't have a stock bike to look at right now.
