I've seen some really nice PC8 installs on this site; unfortunately, the spot under the right side cowling that some have used for the PC8 install is now filled up on the 2014 model. Mounting it under the seat is the only other option I could think of, so here is the mounting plate that I made. It was made from 2mm aluminum sheet, and bent in a little 4" Grizzly Tools bending brake that mounts in my vise. I didn't have to drill into anything or cut anything; the plate is bolted to the bike using an existing bolt.

Now all I have to do is run the wires......

Love it. Would it work on the 2014 2015 ES ?

Or sell it directly
I don' think so. The ES has an additional SCU (suspension control unit) under the seat, so the the space where he mounted that bracket is already utilized.

Maybe work with EB to sell it with your support?

Hi Harry, sorry I missed your question. I couldn't have answered the question anyway LOL, since I don't have the ES version and didn't know about the unit under the seat. As for making it commercially, I think it would have a limited appeal (there aren't all that many S10's out there) that wouldn't make it worth the effort to set up a way to mass produce them. I can make one in my garage with hand tools, but to make a hundred of them by hand make them prohibitively expensive.
