Dean,

Some have the pump behind the seat along with a much larger battery, bu= t I think all-in-all, the dual battery set-up and location I have works bes= t. (with dual 680s)

The only caviat would be if you're planning = on a heavy EFIS system like the Garmin 900X, you would need to put both bat= teries and pump in the rear area to balance the CG well.

Hope this helps,
