I've got some AC\DC blasting" For those about to rock". Seems like a good anthem for you.
Rock on brother!

I'm changing your song to "Sunglasses at Night", as you'd need them to look at that lump of bling. Hopefully it goes as well as it looks
Nearly there buddy.

Thanks. Guys.....
Still have to paint the SUZUKI on that one cover, in black, NO red, don't have the paint...LOL
@Redneck, not worried so much about the gas,,,,,I am going to make this one run on WATER......hehehehehehe if only....
@Spyug,,,,,that's why I got the tinted visor........you should seen how hard it was to take pictures, the bounce back from the flash was killing me.....
Getting really close now, and a bit scary, I really hope to get the engine in without a whole lot of scarring of the frame and motor, I don't want to try and do any touch ups, with the gloss black it's a pain, any over spray and it goes to a matte finish, have that problem already on the engine but I'm not telling you guys where.
I just have to let it sit and cure, so this will not happen anytime soon, at least a week, which unfortunately means I will miss my target date of completion, but that's OK, still need tires, and tins painted, and something done with the exhaust....
Going to go and order new grips, and the throttle tube, the one for the 2004 Yamaha R1 as mentioned.
Bench sync the carbs, just to make sure, I actually should take them semi apart, I didn't note the numbers on the jets and what not, so I really don't know what the heck I have, oh ya and get brake fluid into the lines.....
lots still left, some minor some major, but it's getting there...

hey gk where does the battery negative terminal bolt to? frame, motor,?it doesnt say in the manualComment

nm it goes to the back of the motor/case 2nd bolt in from right

I never use that grounding point, too much weather and corrosion going on down there, I like to make/route a new cable directly to one of the starter mounting legs directly back to the neg post. I may use the original back of motor location to add a frame to engine ground.Originally posted by platinum2 View PostComment

You are correct, I think this is where it goes ? The one hole I forgot to cover up a bit, now I will have to clean it out and get rid of the paint, so it has a good ground.

That wire can go on any bolt to the engine. I used the one going into my sprocket cover. It was closer to the battery box. Just as long as the engine gets a good ground. IF you don't ground out the engine well your starter will not work, since it uses the engine block as its ground. Lets just say I am very familiar with this issue.
