Thanks...Yea I found the cause. It was the wire from the alternator to the battery. It was hot and when the shielding melted the wires touched metal. Then she gave up her ghost. I'm going to make sure anything that can cause a fire have something a or run it so that it doesnt. At least try to any way.

Not a bad idea..I will be wrapping a lot of my stuff. It just gets to hot in the bay, so a bunch of stuff gets soft and like to melt. Doing that will help keep it from happening.
I won't forget. I have to use it right now, but as soon as the new one is done, I will let you know.
Hope you had a good weekend my friend.
You and me both man. It could have been a heck of a lot worse. I'm just counting my blessing however they come.
Here is the hood, should be picking it up today.

Yea I am, turning wrenches is the easy part. Just have to make sure I have everything.

Thanks man! I'm glad she is looking as good as she does. Definitely better than what she looked like before.
It will still take me a little time to get her up and going. Have a few things in the works I am waiting on, before I pull the trigger to get everything rolling.

Slowly coming together. I started putting everything in behind the firewall. Almost done minus a few things. I picked them up yesterday at my friends house, who has a wrecked Z. Thank God for good friends.
Here is the progress so far.
Hope to have more updates soon

....Think I'm going to pull the trigger on the BMW S1000RR. I want something different for a little while, but I might end up back on a R1 again, who knows.Hit me up if you need any help with you need anything.
Weather has been really crummy here and haven't had a chance to do anything on the Z. Waiting on fuel system and few little odds and ends, then everything will be back in.

LMAO, lots of suction will be going on in the tank. This is one of two, (3) 485 systems that I know of. CJM did one for Hal, and the one I have from a different company. I got this setup not knowing Charles was doing a triple setup. Oh well, I still have his intake manifold.
