Clois:

I don't have a B&B, but I would recommend mounting the box inside the cockpit to the passenger side of the firewall. If it comes with the four rubber shock mounts, use them. If not, I would recommend using a rubber spacer at each end to isolate the box from the surface of the firewall and to help absorb shock.

When my Blaster 2 coil fryed, I was concerned that perhaps the stock mounting (upright, to the front of the drivers side head) was creating an unnecessarily hot environment.

When I called MSD's tech department and asked them if the location and engine bay temp could have cooked the coil, the answer was "No, they just sometimes go out". When I said it only had 450 miles on it, they said "it happens".

Scary.
