After shooting ace.cafe an email about his canister and a little back and forth traffic we figured out that his canister would fit on my UCE with little to no adjustment from the iron barrel set up.
The only thing I had to do to make it sit up right was add an addition to the bracket that is supplied with the canister, I went to lowes and found a 1.5 inch bracket and a bolt and that did the trick. The hose was the same and everything...all I did was remove the oval tool box and use one of the mounts for that. oh yeah, the throttle cables were a tight fit but it all worked out great and I'm super happy to gain a decent sized tool box and get rid of that oval!
Ace is pretty much the sh*t.

Well, it did get on there, and it looks good on the black bike!
Glad you are happy!
That aluminum shield around the air filter element can be moved around to the front to shield the element from rain, if you are inclined to do any rain riding.
Otherwise, it can be removed entirely if you want.

thanks ace. I actually did move it after I took the pictures, without knowing what it was at the time common sense kicked in and saved the day.....Thanks!

Pretty much? No sir - he is most definitely the sh*t!
