I finally got everything I ordered. It took me forever in the garage, but I finally got it put back together too.
If something could go wrong on a project having me there is a sure fire way to make it happen when working on a new bike. For example always route your PC3 cable under the tank before hooking up the injectors and TPS, I discovered that the box is bigger than I thought and so did all that jamming my fat hand into the tight spaces twice. Also, and this one is really important, never, ever, ever under any circumstances drop a tool into the exhaust header. I kept that up pipe covered from the moment I took off the stock exhaust a couple weeks ago so nothing would get in. They fell in as soon as I uncovered it. This could easily set you back an hour or even more if you don’t have a really small vacuum hose attachment that reaches wayyyyyy down into the pipe. Then after your done and cleaning up, don’t discover you are still missing the rest of the set of driver bits and only removed one from the exhaust or you will definitely have to take everything apart again and buy a magnet and a snake if you don’t want to remove the headers. The whole set of bits, still in their rubber tray (thank god) were in there. Amazing. Probably was more difficult to set up a circumstance where that whole thing could fall in undetected than it was to get them out but damn.
HA, I am a dee dee dee:shortbus:, I turned what could have been 5 hours of work into 15. BUT IT IS DONE and it is better than ever to ride. So I now have the first ever pictures of my bike available woooo hooooo!!!!:party:
