Tim - very nicely done, clean and neat.
Couple of things;
1. Do you have adequate "exit" openings in the bottom rear of the cowl? Even with the front of the fins exposed, without adequate "exit" openings, you will have heating problems.
2. Distance from firewall/carb intake opening. Many of us have found that we get better performance and smoother transition, consistency of throttle if the intake hole is cut in the firewall so the carb can breathe better. Yours looks very close.
3. Secure the hall sensor connection where it plugs into the wire going to the module. String, dental floss, fancy clips, whatever, but those need to be setup so they won't unplug themselves. Same with battery and module power input wires wherever they are at.

Really a very nice install.
