Just waiting on the throttle body. Should be running by the end of the week.
Boomer tank and fuel line mod. Also have added the boomer intake

Almost looking finished

Hopefully I'll get the TB within the next day or so and I can start her up this weekend. I need to add coolant and bleed the system, (any tips??), wire up the powercommander, and install the battery. Other than that I just need to add some race fuel and press the button. I'm getting excited.

Bleeding should be easy with the self bleed nipple you have, just pump the hoses for a while. During rides you always want to check the bottom right radiator outlet for heat, telling you coolant is pumping.
Push the button a few times first, to prime the fuel rail. Usually 3 primes, then a 3-5 second button push. If no start, begin ritual again. Remember to adhere to the heat cycling referred to in the owner's manual for break in.
By the way, nice rusty sprocket washer.... LOL... I had to point out something since the rest of the quad is so clean!!!

Yeah, that is getting replaced. I think I'm gonna try 14-38 gearing. Just need to get the new sprockets.

So my rebuild journey is now finally over. I'll be taking it on it's maiden voyage to Glamis this saturday. So far it is running really well. I'm really impressed with the throttle response and the low end is amazing. I haven't had a lot of room to open her up, but that will change this week.
A very big thank you to the following:
Caniboomer - Dave has provided lots of advice, parts, and he is just an all around good guy.
Cannondale27 - Steve has been awesome too. Gone out of his way to help me out and found some problems I missed.
Kdeal - Ken has provided quality parts
Peterock - Pete went out of his way to figure out the powercommander for these machines and that is awesome in my book.
And of course, everyone on this site. The advice and conversation has helped me a lot. Thank you very much. Pictures of the Glamis in Glamis to come asap.
