Man, that bike is gonna be all yours when it's done. Very unique direction you're taking it.
You'll have to head up here on a 3rd sunday to ride with the VVMC guys and go to Deus in Venice for Sunday Mass. Pretty amazing scene!

I'm stuck at the same spot - battery and electrical. I'm thinking of one of two places - between the rear uprights, sitting on the swingarm (with a little foam padding to protect the battery from vibrations)...
Or the cool one is under the engine. There's an unused hole on the left side, behind the oil pan. I'm thinking of rigging up a sealed battery to sit under there on its side - totally out of sight. I need to find a good place to mount the right side though, so I don't have to worry about the battery falling off...
DMV fees are stupid... Its not hard for them to check date of owner when fined.
Another guessing game?How did you decide on naming it "The Kramer" anyway?
Love the helper shot. Good doggy.
I like how the bike is shaping up, but I gotta say...
every time I see purple, I just think "ah, the color of sexual frustration."
Looks great! I'm seriously digging this build. I like the new location for your rear lights a lot. If you need to troubleshoot a leaky petcock, you can have a look at my writeup from a couple of weeks ago. Regardless of what kind of petcock it is, as long as it's a gravity-feed it will run of generally the same principles.

250 on Tj's a big-time fan of Seinfeld and his bike is a little "hairy" ....
TJ, I know you are a moto brain, but we've noticed a lot of issues with different jetting/pods lately. If you can get mikunis to test the bike on then do the rejetting/changes, you'll at least know where you problems lie..
Good luck.

No idea where it is located, but it looks like this:

If I'm wrong, I hope a DOHC-er will forgive me and post what it actually looks like (and where it is so you don't spend an hour looking for it).
