can you keep some notes on the TB sync? i havent done that yet and its the only thing to be done. i got the valve adjustment done already. (thank you shim kit! only took 3 hours lol)

Yes I will do a writeup on the experience and will focus on the TB sync. 
I did learn this process before learning valves, so I feel a bit more comfortable with the sync.   
I got the duc put back together last night and she's lookin' like she wants to roll soon. 
Next up after all this engine maintenance will be suspension :|

I don't remember if something gets bolted to that plastic tab with two holes that is molded into the battery tray.
Could someone verify that has nothing attached to it?  Pic of my bike below:

You are correct, nothing gets attached there on my S2R.

TB sync is something that I would like to see some photos of as well. I had been told if the bike runs well it's something that doesn't need to be adjusted every service. But with the kind of valve adjustment that is needed on some of these bikes at first check. Maybe they don't come off the line tuned like a fine watch :)

I would like to check mine because there might be some improvement to be made by adjusting.

Thanks for checking, I didn't think there was anything attached there, just wanted to make sure.
I have found that tuning my duc does have big benefits.  Once its right, it doesnt messing with.

Mmmmmm...ran the bike around the block and she was very buttery. 
My pre-valve adjust tune got me pretty close, she just needs a touch is what it feels like.
Very happy duc.  Thx guys.
