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?
 
For me the solution always seemed pretty obvious, small homemade rear fender, then mount the controller on top of it. Essentially, a seat post rack with the controller on top of it.

I always loathed the idea of mounting that controller in the front wheels splash zone, and I live in a place where the dust bowl would be a wet year.
