Unfortunately I have not been documenting it as diligently as I have been working on it. But this project has essentially ate up all my free time over the last 4 months or so. I went for like 2 months and the beginning then some parts got stolen and I was so ticked I didn't touch it for another 2 months. But then when I got back on it I hit it really really hard. Its waaaaaaay more work than I could have possibly imagined... so many unexpected little things that just eat up time (and money).

Anyway things I got done this weekend:
-routed fuel lines and installed quick disconnects
-charged battery
-checked carb float height
-got it to start!!! WOOO!!!
-Synced carbs
-installed rear grab bar
-installed NGK iridium spark plugs

Things still left to do:
-fix LED turn signal flashing problem
-install headlight
-install buell blast windscreen
-fix paint on belly pan where I had to grind it to get it to clear the Vance and Hines exhaust (it sticks out a bit further than stock)
-install belly pan
-replace engine emblems with fresh new emblem plates (already have them)
-put plastic fairings back on tail piece
-install custom corbin seat (already have it)
-ride bike!!!
-adjust R6 suspension to my liking
