TJBC Fuel Tank & Seat Install VT600
-
I have the whole TJBC kit, and am working on my fuel tank and seat now. There's a video showing what's included and it says there's install videos – but I can't find them. So I'm dry-fitting right now to make sure I get it.
TANK
(1) I see I need to drill out the front of the frame for the tank's larger bolt, and the rear bolt just threads into the frame.
(2) The hoses for the tank, I'm confused about. Any videos or diagrams for that?
SEAT
(3) The seat seems to go together like this, pictured: bolt through seat, into spring, held on by washer and bolt. Spring sits on leather washer and connects to small studs, held in with cotter pins.
(4) Those small studs are welded down to a support bar on the frame.
(5) The bar I cut down and weld to the frame seems awfully close to the coil's ignition wires. I'm guessing that's fine, but changing them out in the future will require removing the coil brackets and coils (which is fine, if that's how this all goes together).
Am I missing someting?

I've tried guessing on the tubing, and have mounted the gas tank like this.
I worry the petcock is a bit exposed and the fuel filter is touching the top of the engine. Also, the intake to the carb, I fed through this area which I worry will get too hot (shown below).
Any thoughts? I realize I can do whatever I like with my bike, but as far as you designed these couplings and hoses, am I close, or is there a better way?
