My first build cbr900

[triplefighter]

Hello this is my first build I have ordered lots if parts from the US. Basically I have stripped the bike down and I'm on the tail end I have a tail end from streetfightersinc I was wondering the best place to put the battery will it work under the petrol tank? Just wondering to I see some people have the single bar instead of triangle on the seat support how does that work. I don't have pics ATM but interested.

As for the single bar, more often than not it is two bars very close to each other forming an outward V for the strength. They both mount together on the top shock mount and then splay out to the subframe rails.

As for the battery under the tank, not much chance of that without reworking the tank itself, plus electrics and tanks together aren't a top idea. Check your tail unit and there will probably be space within it for a sealed battery unit that you can mount on it's side or similar. Show us a photo of the tail you are getting.

Here's an example on a mate's bike:

Yep, Plenty of room for a battery in that tail end mate.

Totally. It's probably done over 30,000k since you saw it last! A brillaint design and made well. Took a lot of tries but he got it to work in the end. Even passed the cop test a few times.
