Help with wiring (chopper)

Hi guys!
Some of you, that passes through the bike section frequently know that I've started a chopper build. The thing is I'm more familiar with the GP bikes and I'm a bit stalled at the wiring of these belt driven V-engines. I guess the wiring is pretty straight forward and basic but I scratch my head here and could really need some help. I add a picture with the basic parts to be wired together, feel free to add to the picture using the pen tool in Paint or whatever, as long as I get the idea. I appreciate any help so don't hesitate if you don't know it all.

Basic questions where I feel I get blocked.

1. The kit features a battery sunk down in the oil reservoir, is this a common way to put the battery or just something Revell made up? I don't think I ever seen anything like it...

2. Battery and alternator and the head/tail lights must be linked but I guess there must be some connector box/es in this scheme somewhere.

3. Where (quite on the spot) does the oil hose from the reservoir enter the engine?

Please feel free to add to this list with stuff that is missing in the kit parts. I'd like to get it as right as possible.

As you can see I flipped the left/right side engine pics around... The gear box, alternator, belt drive on the lower left is to be connected to the hole on the left side of the engine if the scheme is a bit cluddy.

Ok, so everyone was as lost as me on this one...bugger. Perhaps I can get some guidance within two of the questions?

1. Is it Revell fiction or true that you sometimes place the battery within the oil tank??

2. Where on the engine block does the oil enter when comming from the oil tank?
