i will Plummen. once i take the bike apart to paint i can get the inside. as for my ass, there will be a brace that goes up to the seat frame. just a cleaner look than the stock tubing route, keeeping the swingarm "open".

battery box?

yes. much smaller than stock, same cranking amps. side covers will hide it all. i am not sure if im ganna use stock covers, or make my own.

and remember, the frame is wider below the seat....more room for electronics and batt than stock.

It's not that much wider than stock Joe! Don't forget those gussets on your upper shock mount. When's trash day again? :laugh:

i said it is wider, not a lot wider. 10" is my spread between the frame where the swingarm is. my $ is on stock is not that wide. allowing more room the last time i checked. the gussets for the shock mount will be welded before the bikes done....no rush. i have a zillion other things to check off the list. i did a search on what it would cost to ship the bike to california. with your near future plane purchase you cant afford it.:laugh: unless itll fit in the plane.:blink:
