Just finished cleaning my bike, taking all the panels off, polishing the frame etc.... including taking the tank off. when I put it back together it now wont start, it will turn over fine but wont spring to life, however after 10 seconds plus on the starter motor it will make a huge backfire, any ideas where to start???

No idea, but I'd suggest that if it's making a huge backfire then probably a good idea to stop doing whatever you're doing at the moment and wait for some advice.

key is on, kill switch off, bike in neutral?
(start simple) lol

Aargh, photos!
There will be water around the leads or you have moved the leads and have put them back incorrectly?

In the course of all that, did you maybe remove, and put back again the spark plug caps (ie pull them off the spark plugs) ?

Well Cam seeing as she wont start you wont be able to sell her... May as well just drop it round to my place and i'll have her as I doubt anyone else will!

Yeah I need it i think, new bike is going to be black, with a bigger engine than my mini and very loud.......no more clues, hopefully see yah tomorrow night though if its going!

Did you take the leads out? If you did you may have put them back incorrectly, I know that happened to my bike when I did that.
You know you had a good nite when you have to ask someone if you had a good nite.

Sorry didn't read your other post saying you didn't touch the sparkplugs.
No idea then.....Good luck with it anyway
