It would be wise to extend the battery leads etc and put the battery under the seat unit.

Monster or SS chassis? Phil's monster has the 916 tank and without airbox etc and if you can fabricate the brackets to hold it, when I looked at doing it, it wasnt that hard (in theory)

ss has the pressure regulator on the carbs and the 916 has it in the tank, You only need 1, as for fitting it, It can't be that hard can it? I fitted one on my monster (without an airbox) but not seen one on a ss which is strange 'coz loads of people don't like the ss tank. I quite like the tank on my new ss...

Yeah the ss tank is ok .. i just find it a bit wide at the top and find myself reaching over it a bit when i'm off the side of the bike

Add another layer of seat foam on the seat, that should cure it.
