Tore apart the Brutal Customs E tank I had installed before just so I could get better access to the m.unit. Instead of putting it back, I just decided it's better if I swapped in a projector headlight.

Few questions. Where to stash the breakout box for this digital dashboard I'm getting from MotoGadget? Also, what fog lights do you recommend?
 
Great choice on swapping the E tank for a projector headlight. If you can, try to tuck the MotoGadget breakout box under the seat or behind the tank if there's room. For fog lights, the LA5 Series pods are good, and you can find some decent budget options from Nilight. Sunpie's headlight and fog kit is also worth checking out if you're updating the front end. Hope that helps
 
I think you should tuck the breakout box right under the tank or inside the headlight bucket if there's room or like some othres I've seen, you could mount it behind the battery box if you're running a custom tray basically the whole idea is to make sure its accessible and isolated from the vibration

Yeah, nice move ditching the E-tank for a projector headlight!
I know a couple who tucked their MotoGadget breakout box into the headlight bucket.
Just make sure to keep it safe, hidden and vibration-free!
For fog lights, PIAA's compact LED fogs are excellent for a focused beam, but if you want something sleeker, Custom Dynamics has integrated options.
For more budget-friendly options, look for universal 3-inch LED pod lights online, just make sure they're designed for a wide, low fog pattern.
 
I did something similar on my build, got rid of a big side piece to make wiring easier. I was able to put the box under the seat, padded it, and zip-tied it. For extra lights, I've utilized small auxiliary LEDs made for ATVs. They're tough, bright, and easy to keep clean
