If you can make it better do so
Ok so I decided to do the install of the engine by my lonesome...
First I propped the engine up on some blocks of wood I had laying around in the shed
Next I wrapped some rags around the frame in anticipation of me bumping and scratching it
The next bit I was unable to photo as I had my hands full, basically what I did was place the frame next to the engine then I sat my ass down on the floor and slowly shimmied it into position
Then I went about tapping in all the engine mount bolts
This was the top engine mount at the back
I then replaced the part of the frame that I had previously removed when taking out the engine
Then onto the front engine mounts
Rear sets and swing arm
Rear wheel, caliper and brake support
I put in the centre stand to make it easier to get the forks in
Then just for shits and giggles I put the tank and seat pan on
I’m not 100% on the seat pan, going to have to mull it over, also I still need a rear sprocket, the rear disc need to be drilled and all associated brake lines need to be made up... although brake lines will be some of the last things I do.
Tomorrow I will see how the carbs match up, then perhaps look at the front fairing and seat pan
At least she rolls now
