I was forced to build it. 
After a little mishap I had to do a partial tear down for damage inspection. After removing the engine and getting the cylinder head off I knew the head would have to be repaired and I'd have to replace 1 piston. I just couldn't do that after having it broken down this far. Fortunately a friend I went to college with is a senior engineer at Mahle and he got me the hook up on 4 new pistons with rings, wrist pins & clips...in the 84mm flavor.
I had the block sent off for boring & plating. I also had the head sent for repair and decided to get ported and prepped for larger cams in the future. 
Once I got all the parts back I took everything to a buddies garage and we put it all together. File fitted the rings, installed the pistons & block, degree'd 2 stock intake cams, and did a valve clearance check...had to adjust 8 valves after I hunted around locally for some shims. While checking the clearance I had the oil crossover tube un-bolted and the cam caught it and chipped part of it! So I was waiting on that to come in from Suzuki and was the only thing I was waiting for to get it all buttoned up to fire! While the engine was out I also put in a clutch mod and the Factory Pro shift kit with HD spring & shift star. Heard good things about it, but haven't tried it yet.
Anyway I fired it up yesterday and it definitely needs a tune, it was good to hear her come back to life.
I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to get it to the tuner, but when I do I'll post back here with the results.
I took a video of it and also here are some pictures I took along the way...

lease: I'm bringing everything I can with me to work on the bike while it's there just in case. Hopefully it isn't anything major.
