I don't ride faster than 5k RPM, which means twice less current than at 10k
Do you mean physically attach them as in soldering, tying down etc.I installed resistors, they are getting hot!!! I need to figure out how to attach them. Any ideas?

yes, they should be somewhere, where air blowsDo you mean physically attach them as in soldering, tying down etc.
I'm watching F1 just now , it's just started, but will give you a mock up shortly.
Sorry mate, had to watch the first few laps of F1.It seems like attaching to frame pipe is the best place with hose clamps. Last thing to figure out is some kind of gasket(?) between resistor and pipe. I really hope to ride my bike first time today.
thanks.Sorry mate, had to watch the first few laps of F1.
without a mock up, i do this.
1. Tin both your resistor wire and the wire you are attaching. Bring them together and with a spare strand wrap that around both. Solder the 2 wires and the strand all together.
2. Use your heat gun (or hair dryer etc) on shrink wrap to cover the connections.
3. if you are using stress relief on your wires then you can loop the cable and shrink wrap that too.
4. for attaching the hot resistor to something else like a piece of steel, remember that you really want to sook that heat from the resistor as fast as you can, hence attach the resistor to a piece of metal like aluminium first. Do not use silicon to attach the resistor. There are products such as heat carrying pastes but you will probably not have them.
i have an additional write up for mechanical crimp advantages if anyone wants it.
hope that helps.
I've had a look for the write up I done, but cannot find it straight off, although I do admit it was very long winded.thanks.
I need crimp advantages info, please.
What temperature are they getting toI installed resistors, they are getting hot!!!
Thanks, but I found perfect resistance 2.2. Do they make 2 ohm resistance like yours? do you sell them or it is from some website? which one?What temperature are they getting to
They may get so hot you cannot keep a finger on them, nothing to worry about a long ad there is nothing nearby that can be affected by the heat.
I refer you to the 5th post in this thread.

The resistors I recommended have mounting holes in the heat sink and can be further bolted to metal, such as another heatsink to dissipate the the heat.
