Good jobDry your eyes mates, I ordered the MAC sump from Niche Cycle Supply and an Emgo airfilter. I hope I didn't screw up too badly. Discuss amongst yourselves
Post up pics as the project progresses.

Good job
I'd love nothing more than to show it off....will need to figure out my new Ipad so that I can get pics up. The build is like nothing I've seen online and may not please some people
I'm dying to list all the mods right now but that would be uncivilized.

Not at all, we love a bit of airhead porn here. Let it rip!

Well if you insist.
It's only going to be a road/gravel road weekend camper bike but still felt like bracing the frame as I have done with older jap bikes in the past. So off to CMR Racing Products in Trenton Ont. Canada to have 1.5 in. taken out of the front down tubes to raise the motor, some plates around the headstock, tube welded into the main backbone and "T" into the rear frame down tubes. Also bracing over the swing arm pivot. This requires a new battery box cobbled of aluminum angle to sit the PC680 sideways. 2.5x19 Excel rim to the front by Buchanans, M.A.P. 320 rotor kit, Moose CR Hi Bend bars on 20mm risers allowing forks slid up 22mm. Generic plastic sumo high fender, Buell XB turn signals, KC Hilites Slim Lite and Koso speedo. No idiot lights of any kind save for oil pressure. I made an IDST style number plate from black abs sheet to slip behind the headlight. Exhaust is ceramic coated and O2 bung in collector box for future carb futzing, home brew mid pipe and 2003 GSXR 1000 ti muffler. Spare beater Corbin seat hacked in half for single seat, home brew aluminum rack to hold Wolfman tail bag or duffle bag as needed. Rear fender is trimmed DR650 with DRZ250 tail light. Bruno(GWS) did the driveshaft with circlipped U joints a while back. So basically it's a bare bones type bike without the brat, cafe racer, bobber flavour because, well, I am no homo.

Now that I want to see - excellent that it has no particular fashion/style - function over form never goes out of style!

Mongrels are some of the best bikes
Sounds like a great build.
The standard charging system relies on the charge idiot lamp bulb being in circuit. If you want to get rid of the lamp there are electronic equivalents that replace the diode board and regulator simplifying your setup.
