Neat-O Jean, fascinating the ways to skin OIF cat on Cdo's. It just seems so obvious a use of wasted space and oil tank elimination. Plus surface area to cool.
I don't yet see/understand how oil from filter re-enters OIF. I also think I see an isssue of the drain not being very much lower than the spine tank so pensive how nose down you can get and still flow oil to pump. I would fall asleep imagining I was an oil drop flowing through Peel, then awoke with a startle and loss of sleep when I got to a long steep downhill and realized my drain vent would be un covered too often and long at a time. I had to add a drain up by the stem to get rest again.

One issue with I considered with a boxed in area was losing the room to route
cables and wires to bars and headlight. Really fancy customs run the wires in tubes placed in frame or gas tank. I'm not that fancy to try to go that route.

Will ya retain the bullet holed look in tank and swing arm : )
I've seen one custom they made the bullet holes go all the way through by tubes welded in for the strange effect.
