PMed me about where the battery and coolant res were at.....Figured if someone asked there are other people out there who are wondering the same for their bikes.
I put the coolant res right behind the radiator. At first it sounds like a stupid idea because of the heat, but i made sure i checked how hot it got before i moved it. I checked it a bunch of times, but i was sold after a really hot summer day where we had been riding short distances stopping and going a lot. i could put my hand on the radiator and not get burnt so i figured it wouldnt mess with the plastic....i have a few hundred miles on that setup (one of my first mods, did it before i overhauled the bike) and it hasn't gotten too hot yet. i actually made a bad *** looking bracket for it even though you cant even see it. I took the left radiator off, made a template, cut the metal bent it and drilled holes accordingly and mounted everything back up. didnt take more than an hour or so.

^^^ i made a bracket that looks like this, bent it at the two blue lines. Drilled holes at the red circles.
wires and battery tray
Template out of cardboard
Attachment 8891
used the template to make an aluminum tray.

Put all the wires in the first part of the tray, then the smaller battery in the second part. Used an AntiGravity 4 cell batter. seems like it works better than my stock battery and its soooo much smaller. I love it.
