Almost done. Who knew having a baby would soak up so much time. My wife officially hates the bus again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Whatever.....

For the last few days I have been chasing many wires. Since much of the stuff is not OE, and I can not find my notes (or didnt make them) I had to do this. Tonight, I think I have it all worked out except for two wires in the back. I will button up the front around the fuse panel and then chase the back wires tomorrow, maybe. Then, exhaust, filler neck for tranz, and gas for tank. :bomb:

Well, uh...Duhhh. Hint: there is no gain in efficiency when the second one comes - it works the opposite.

Got a lot done today.

Built a mount to place the trans fill. Mad it out of plate.

Made a hose and taps for the case vent. Checked all the hoses, and a good thing I did as I found two hose clips on an air bypass hose that were very loose and fixed that.

At this point, I need to install the exhaust, hook up a battery, and start doing checks on the systems (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I rode the R1100RT to get the gas, on the way back I made a Hardley riders year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I hear, "Hey, hey buddy! Hey Buddy!" I look back and he says, "Your tail light is hanging off!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The nuts to retain said unit, well only one was in the back compartment and this is why the whole thing was hanging by its wires.

Almost ready to turn key. Welded up the exhaust to be better then previous and installed. Cleaned up wires and remounted fuse panel.

I need help with the throttle cable assembly and my friend is going to do that. Probably tomorrow, though.

No pics, but god news. I put the fluids in that it needed, except gas (didnt have time before a big storm hit), and made a modification to the throttle cable that increased its accuracy and repeatable use (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (not electric, yet).

The throttle opens almost all the way, about 1/8" too short. However, I think it works well enough to get it going. It is a question of cable/crank geometry that I will need to solve later. I think the cable is tight enough that if I adjusted it for full open it would not close all the way.

Tomorrow, I hope to put fuses in, battery in, gas in, air tube in, key in and start......stay tuned (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hands.gif)

I dont know what the squeaking is, but it is too late tonight to go fiddling around in the dark for it. I will do that tomorrow.

Ok, I have calmed down and taken a shower to get all of the gas off of me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I had the send and return hoses to the distributor wrong, 4 hose clams that were not able to tighten enough so I replaced them with ones that would, and I forgot to tighten the hoses on the WUR. Once the fuel stayed in the system, I cranked it and it coughed alive! It is running very smooth.

The squeak sounds like the belt or an associated part. It does not sound like the air leak we had last time, but I will be ruling all of that out tomorrow, I hope. With any luck, it will be inspected by this weekend and I can use it to move stuff. I think that Canada will be seeing this beast in June (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I still cant believe my concepts worked. Cant wait to see what the HP and TQ are like.
