So after nearly 11 years in boxes and a multitude of parts n pieces my 1989 (bike in a box) FZR 1000 fired up and ran this morning. I actually re-assembled the whole thing from a book, this web site and a lack of fear and common sense, I just need one more oil seal and to assemble it to riding trim and I am able to do the engine break in. I am very thankful for this resource and everyone who has answered my questions.
I will make a new topic with pictures all along my progress path. I think I will really enjoy this bike more knowing I put it together the way I did.
