Well, I made a crane thingie to get the engine out. It will lift the engine, tilt the engine and then roll it out of the right side, problem is there is insufficient space between engine and frame to move the engine sideways and out of the frame
I've lifted and tilted the engine so the rear lower mount will just scrape over the frame tab. The rear rocker box mount protusion is just touching the frame in the scalloped area in front of the top, rear frame mount. The protrusion on the frame for the lower mount looks like it might just scrape between the engine mount protrusion and the starter motor mount, but the front of the engine where the cases join won't clear the front downtube, nor will the sump filter cover. Argh, very annoying.
It's looking like I may have to strip the bike and lay the frame and motor on it's side to get the damn things apart.
