Who has moved their electronics under the seat? Re wiring HELP!

[Turtleface]

I have not seen on on e-bay lately

I'm sure it would be pricey if one ever showed up

There's a bunch of magnesium parts on that bike, it's gotta be incredibly pricy. But it looks so purposeful, like a weapon. I'm not sure it'd be possible to ride that thing at anything less than a brisk pace. Found some more pics, and specs.

Wonder what the switchs and the turnable knob thing on the left side cover is for. And those carbs are to die for.

To give you an idea, I priced out a titanium gsxr exhaust once and it was about $3500 alone ; If one of those came up close to mint, it would probably be $25K+. I road with a guy a couple weekends ago on a 86 GSXR750 Limited (about a $5K bike). He was afraid of wrecking it so where is the fun.
This is a museum peice if you ever had one.

Any others?

Here are some pics of mine. The reason I moved mine is so I can mount a turbo later on in the space where the battery and the electronics where. I am going to be replacing my wiring harness this winter and simplifying all the wiring. I love that pic of the 1300cc kat very clean. I like KiwiGS also. For what its worth I made my pan out of stainless steel and works excellent in keeping everything dry when riding in wet weather. Besides all that I think it gives the bike a very clean look in general.
I say go for it.

whaty benefit is derived from having the weight of the battery taken to the back and upwards?

where has your centre of gravity moved to?

[Dead Boy]

Calvin, the benefit of moving the battery under the tail is pretty much aesthetic and nothing more. As far as center of gravity goes, you're not moving that much weight and the engine far outweighs the battery. Most people that have done this report very little if any noticeable change in the dynamics of the bike while riding.

good to know I suppose the hind end of an average rider just foreward of the battery would sort of make for handling akin to a just slightly heavier rider.
