It looks like I may have to install my controller on the outside of my enduro/bomber style frame. I have seen a few bikes that have the controller exposed which seems great for cooling, but perhaps not so great for bits being thrown at it from the front wheel. The controller I have fits almost flush with the bottom of the frame so I was thinking of fabricating a long strip of sheet metal to cover the controller lengthways. Before I do, I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and done this differently, or even left the controller exposed?
