so I've got a 250r in the basement that I should have had together months ago but I'm working on it right now.

My problem:
I am not positive where all the components on the wiring harness should mount on the bike.

sounds stupid I know, but it's been 8 months since I dis-assembled the bike to get everything PC'd.

If anyone has a picture of their bike without the plastics to show where the components mount would be a great help to me. I know there are probably 1000 different ways to do it but I want it to make since where these things are located.

A little information:
I'm running a 2000 Arens Bros. frame, NO HEADLIGHT, and my electronics have some CR250 components (02 style I believe), if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance

you either have cr250 stuff or not. a cr250 setup is one harness, a big plug for the cdi, loop for ground, flat plug for coil, and two round plugs for kill switch. A trx250r one is completely different, you have alot more plugs on it, its about 4 times the length. I have cr250 electronics on my 250r's, cdi is in the 88/89 250r cdi boot(mounted to the frame), two plugs are used for the kill/tether cord, wire goes down the frame to the stator case, the round plug goes to one of the mount screws for the coil, the flat plug goes to the flat prong on the coil, thats it!!!!
The trx250r harness has stator connections, cdi plug, voltage regulator plug, swtich cluster plug, key switch plugs, two flat plugs for the coil, ground that goes the frame, wire that goes to the back on the bike for the tail light, its alot of stuff.

Well, I have the stock electrical system, but there isn't much to it. Basic components hook into basic plugs. You have the taillight, the engine/stator, the coil, the CDI and the handlebar switch and that's it I think. Also, if you are really nervous, buy the Honda service manual (not the clymer). It has stock routing diagrams for all the hoses and wires. Kinda handy.
Here's some pics though:
