Don't tighten any bolts until you have them all started.

Thanks. A helpful reminder. I actually knew about that, but now I have to check if I remembered to do that. Ah, the absent minded professor!

The factory starter wire and ground wire reach and work perfectly in this box (managed to fit the starter solenoid in the box beside the battery):

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still wrestling with the OEM battery box. Maybe I'll figure it out.

There's a little protrusion on the back side of float bowl that doesn't seem to do anything except get stuck on the battery box when trying to drop the bowl. In a fit of What The Fu*k is that there for I filed most of it off, really helps getting the bowl off without screwing around with the battery box. Just something that makes working on the carb easier.
 Just remembered about filing it off when reading about needing to ratchet strap the battery out of the way to work on the carb.

I got everything back together yesterday after several efforts to get that battery box back on the bike. Somehow I did it. I'll post a picture at some point. Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to make suggestions and share tips. Much appreciated!
