Hi all,
I'm reaching the stage where I've got to refit the engine into the painted frame but the problem is I'm a short-arsed, slightly built one-man-band. I lifted the engine out using my gantry with the bike on its wheels which was awkward but then I didn't care about the paintwork then. I know about laying the engine on its side on a blanket/carpet and fitting the basic frame to it but are there other methods you guys have used? The gantry is still available and, if anything needs fabricating/welding I can do that. How did Yamaha do it?
Thanks in advance
