I mostly mounted it there simply because I couldn't fit in the original location without hacking up the seat base... I'd also figured "if it runs that much cooler, why bother re-locating it?"...
I presume you had to do something similar?
It's notable that in one the few spec sheets I've seen for a Shindengen - before they pulled them all; current rating is provided relative to how much airflow there is over it...
So static with no airflow, it's not anything like as useful...

Coming up on 21K - dismally low since I bought it, but as it had fun-curtailing issues the first few times out, so it'll take a little while to build up the confidence to take it farther from home, lol..
Yeh, starter struggling to turn the motor over with a wimpy charge can't be good for it.
Based on the behaviour of the tach (only started playing up after 10 miles or so, normal until then), I think the old RR had only recently started playing up - or was only doing so when it overheated.
