Thanks Chainsaw, Not sure what you mean about the top end oiling kit but mine is a Carolina Cycle kit. They haven't made them for years. I prefer them to the Vortex style that feed in one end.

Thanks dude, I did get it sorted out shortly after the trouble but thanks for the heads up. Something like this can go unsolved so I am glad dudes like you are around.
Great link, would have saved me loads of time if I had found this months ago. Cheers and thanks again.

UPDATE:
Now I don't feel so bad, read the forum on the site and loads of people can't get their 3gs working even with their kits. Very fussy these 3gs's.

Read the whole thread. Wish I has the time/money/dive that you have. Maybe someday. GREAT looking bike! Any progress?
 
Thanks M8, things have come to a hault. Project may be on hold for a while.
 
Bugger! Fingers crossed it's not something too drastic and you can resume soon...
 
That's unfortunate!! I take it life is getting in the way. Hope it gets sorted out for ya!
 
OK project is back on. Since it has been a long project I thought I would throw on the turbo and efi to give myself a shot of motivation. Phase I is almost complete. That is motor in ready for carburetor break in. ONce the engine is broken in, Phase II starts, which will be in a couple months. Phase II is adding the fuel injection and getting it running correctly. Then Phase III, the TURBO!!! There are some issues to sort out with that but I am looking forward to getting down to problem solving for the completetion of the project.

I have taken the turbo stuff off today and put on the Vance and Hines header. I have a stainless (new) Yosh knock off coming. I am told that it will be killer. Of course you will all find out the details once I have it in my hot little hands. Here is a small rundown of what I have done lately.

Keyfob, one button on/off power - no ignition. I will be replacing this with an RFID system shortly when I get some upgraded parts from my supplier.The low fuel sensor is installed and working great (pics to follow). I am having an issue with my SPA super expensive clocks. The menu button decided to quit working. I don't know if it is the switch or the clocks. I will need to do some trouble shooting with the manufacturer next week. I had to redesign the backing of the clocks to allow the led lights to fit properly. ONe thing you get used to on these projects is doing things again and again to get them perfect. Another snag is my quick access clutch cover, it has offset my cable so it doesn not run through the center of the housing. It has also made it too short. Or rather, the stock actuator arm is too short and, has to be rotated inward which makes for a very heavy pull. Not only that but I am not getting enough clutch travel to completely disengage my plates. Something will have to be made, Oh, how novel!!

I am just waiting for my new set of RS Flatslides to arrive (tues/wed) and I can bring the beast to life. A Dyna 2000 is in charge of detonation while 1260cc pistons supply the force. Feeding this monster is a ported head with 1mm oversize stainless steel valves, Web 370 left cams dialed in to 108.5 degrees. The heavy lifting is provided by APE/Web hard welded rocker arms which will be generously lubricated by the top end oiling system. Managing all this torque and twist will be a Gardner Concepts prepared crank with straight cut gears with of corse, katana rods.

When Phase I is completed I will summarize what has been done to date. I have quite a few pics to upload when I get the chance. My computer has been down for a couple weeks which has backed many things up. Oh yeh, the color is "ATOMIC ORANGE" Believe me, the pictures do not do this bike justice. Walley and his crew over at Willowbrook collision in Langley did a fantastic job, for a fantastic price. Hand painted pinstriped, two tone all cleared over including the katana decal on the tank. They smoothed is all so there are no ridges. Go see them for paint. Great guys, great job, great price.

There is a more to catch up on that will be posted over the coming days.
