I would also use proper fuel line clips instead of jubilee clips.

there is enough length in the lines so if i want to remove it i can undo the tank bolt and simply move it away from the battery to replace it. as for it poping, i imagine if there is a fault any where in the stantard setup vapour could still reach the battery. but yes it was something i had considered.
as for the clips they will be changed. forgot to bring to my mates house, so had to make do
i was worried about placing it where you did incase a stone might punture it.

In the picture above,almost all riders have picked that area as the most popular for the GS and RT relocation area.
...and yes,don't forget to use fuel injection clamps on the hose.

about to undertake this myself...is your filter secured to the frame or motor in any way?
i've mentioned this before, but be sure to use a fuel pipe for the in tank link that is resistant to petrol. obvious perhaps, but i've found that some fuel pipe is multiple layer in construction & the outer layer rots when contaminated by petrol.
not good for link pipe submerged in it

When I did my installion,I used a piece of copper tubing with the same "inner" diameter as the fuel hose. That way if I ever want to retain the fuel system back to stock,I just remove the copper tube and install the fuel filter.
I also have the quick disconnects mounted "outside" so I can change the fuel filter without having to "pinch" the lines closed to prevent fuel flowing thru the lines.

pretty clever really...I've been hunting for an out of the way place for one.
What are you fellows using for a filter?

are you happy with it being near to the battery, if it pops, or you remove it, lots of vapour near a possible spark .
put mine here -
(sorry don't know how to use the quote thingy)
had another thought, about your position, do you not risk fuel spilling onto a hot exhaust or cylinder if the filter was damaged or popped which i'm sure would be more likely to ignite the petrol than a possible spark?

its in the same place where BM run the fuel hose, and in close proximity to the injector pipes, unlikely to get damaged, its behind the tube, and when your feet are on the footrests its completetly covered. Plus i have the Q/D fuel connectors upstream of the filter, so it only needs to be touched when changing it, not removing the tank, air filter or checking battery etc.
Plus its easily accessable if you need to get rid of it quick, fuel won't leak from the tank due to the Q/D's and in a fairly harmless place, not in your lap next to a battery above the air inlet and a foamseat with a lot more tubing to reach it.
its just my personal choice after looking at lots of other bikes .
Your happy, so am i .
