I was told the motor turns over and that it was running a couple years ago. I don't know how to check if it turns over because its electric start only. As far as rebuilding the motor i don't really have any experience in that field besides dicking around on little 2 stroke mopeds.

is the motor running?
why rebuild it if you don't have to, though on the other hand, they say it's one of the simplest motors to rebuild, so maybe you should just to get your feet wet, then you'll know for sure you have a good power plant in there..
powder-coating the frame won't be cheap, unless you have a hookup or something.
As for the battery, you can buy, or build cafe style seat cowls, that will house the battery. Since you have a DOHC you don't have a oil tank, so that whole section under the seat can be empty.
These guys on here know their shit, and are so nice about giving out info, you came to the right place.
good luck, enjoy!
