Did it at 63 and reinstalled by myself. The KEY is having a platform to set it on, that is the same height, no lowering to the floor, a laterial move only. 5'8" 190 pound old male.
Angus, I live in Bellingham, if you still problems after installing Pete's generous gift, you get that thing up here, we will make it work.
I will donate $25.00 for gas.

Beware, if your local gasoline contains ethanol, Mike's will not work, less than 3 weeks on mine, and to be fair, he has that warning on his site. Manifolds and diaphrams from jbmindustries jbmindustries@att.net, are compatable with ethanol.
Good Luck,

If you are spending the money for a 750 kit and cam, have the crank rebuilt with Mikes rods and main bearings, DONOT for get a new cam chain sprocket on the crank. I went with bronze valve guides, while staying with 650cc.

I am in Bellingham, have a long distance sail boat race on the 17th. Really wanted to go to that swap-meet. 79-special, finished two year rebuild a couple of months ago. Riding when not raining, I don't mind getting wet, hate the cleanup.

I completed a two year build on my bike two months ago, have been riding to work when it is not raining, 6:30 am, 30, 28, 34 degrees. Just 20 miles north of Barb, lots of rain. Just had a nice ride this afternoon.
