Wow your one of them smart fellers! LOL and a Jarhead to boot. Right on, and I mean that as a compliment for sure.

 I wish I could do computer plans like that. Sweet!

Guns - Dvin at CognitoMoto also makes and sells a unit very similar to the one your designing. He installed it on his 750 build, which you can find in last months BOTM thread. Perhaps that can provide you some ideas to help further your own design.

Branden, if I told my high school teachers that I'm in engineering school they would laugh at me. Its taken a lot more effort on my part to get on the same level as the kids I'm in school with, but one thing was for sure. Humping around a M240B all day was not what I want to do for another couple of years while my body can keep up.

Cal, I've never even seen his till you mentioned that. They look SHOCKINGLY familiar, good to know that the idea works. Our designs do differ a little, Devin has his so that it is between the bars that are on the engine side of the frame...

I would like to mount mine on the reverse, resembling anothercb's oil tank

I'd like to put it here to help with the cooling a little, However this may require longer feed and return lines.

also the battery/electrical box he has in stock looks similar to the one that I had in mind. Devin has a great shop that looks like they put out outstanding products, I wish that I would have found them a little sooner.

I like it on the rear strut too, keeps access to the carbs a bit more readily. And, it can be a fender! Some other advantages of your(s) approach is the electronic noses can be directly under the seat and away from the tire.
