2011 Zero XU Complete Upgrade 20KW Brushless Conversion - Parts Finally Arrived

It took about three weeks to finally arrive but I now have hopefully everything I need to complete my 2011 Zero XU Complete Upgrade with a new Brushless motor and controller setup. The complete kit I purchased comes with the QS165 50H motor which has a nominal rating of 10kW and can put out as much as 40kW if you have a battery and controller with enough power. The Controller that came with my kit is the Fardriver ND72890 capable of 450 battery amps and 890 Phase Amps to the motor. This should get me around 35kW or even more... The Kit I bought also came with the SCJ5066-1 Speedometer, a full wiring harness and left and right controls along with a throttle.
I have most of everything else I need to in terms of nuts, bolts, spacers, washers, connectors, wires, metal bits for fabricating mounts but I am sure there will be something I missed but that is part of the process. So far I have figured out mostly how the motor will be mounted by using the foot peg holes for the rear mounts, some fabrication will be need for the front mounts. I am pretty sure I have the wiring harness figured out now, it was a bit more complicated than I originally thought as there are many of the same connectors so I needed to really dive into the wiring diagram to make sure I use the right connections.
Hopefully I can get the 2011 Zero XU all setup over the next week or so baring anythign I may have overlooked.
