Default anybody get nervous........

when their bike is apart longer then it should be?

I broke a connector housing about a week ago, and ordered a new one at the stealership that day. For some reason, i know it is not a big thing, but i am getting nervous and antsy fearing it wont start after it is all back together. All i really have done is internal wiring, and added the LEDs.

This is not my first rodeo, but for some reason when i dont get things accomplished in the time they should take, i get kinda jumpy, anyone else like that?

Haven't had that happen (yet), but I can see where you're coming from. I think I'd be the same way.

Sometimes, but a pie dish thingy for parts helps me out, I put them in each hole in the order I take them out if it is a major project. You can always make notes.

Well, it should be noproblem, pretty much just simply line up the wires, and i have a cheat sheet there with the way they came off. The dealer promises me that the housing will be in today.

Any how while i am there, i have to pick up some more metal terminals, I thought i had all i needed but the ones for the blinker wires are about 1/16 of an inch shorter then the ones for the rest of the handlebar controls, so of course the ones i have wont fit. Will post up some pics as soon as i finish up this goat rodeo.

Once it is all back together and i run it to make sure there are no issues, then begins the cam swap. I am pretty sure i have all the needed stuff for that, the gasket, the o-rings, adjustable pushrods, lifters and of course the cams.

Absolutely!

Had the bike inside the house this winter for multiple project including new bars so all the wiring was apart.....what a great feeling of relief once I got it back in the garage got some gas in it and it fired back up!
