Slowly & methodically thats how you get it done just make sure you don't have a brother help you who is colour blind otherwise the job will
take twice as long trust me.

From that chassis it looks like you're building a bec. I found the Haynes bike series manuals have got nice colored wiring diagrams in them
& are pretty easy to read.
Good luck!

Work out which bit stays in the cabin (fuses and relays etc) (or close to it anyway), then work out which bit goes to the back, the gauges, the front
(for lights) and the engine.
Once the 5 bits are identified, get cracking
I started on the rear lights first
Remember when you think youve completed one circuit, test it
AND
The best tip i ever had was to hard connect one cable to the battery (either red or black). The other clamp to the battery using spring loaded panel
clamps or similar (or even mole grips) so that when you feel a cable getting warm for no reason, or see smoke rising all you have to do is flick the
clamp off to stop the damage from worsening.
It saved my bacon at least once

The title sort of gave it away too

2003 5PW R1, which I have the full bike loom kit for, and the loom I have bought is a Premier.
Any tips then ?
Should I be fitting the engine first ?

Find yourself a 2-5amp short circuit protected power supply & test things with that rather than a battery. Batteries know no restraint
whatsoever!!!
The lab supplies are good if you can blag one because they continually show the amps you're taking.
Have fun - I get the impression lots of folk are scared stiff of the wiring, but when they get all the tools and get into it, find it quite enjoyable
and rewarding (i.e. every circuit is a little triumph when it works)

PS - things I found useful: 1) good set of wire strippers, there are a lot of poo ones about.... 2) proper ratchet crimp crimpers, they were special
offer at farnell for a tenner, one of the best tenners I ever spent! 3) multimeter - I have 2, one was 3.99 at maplins, the other 5.99 ALdi special
offer. The aldi one is better 'cos it has a 20A scale and a continuity beeper.

You could just use a small battery charger for your supply..
