Disassembly complete

[samw5]

Done with dropping the engine today. Garage looks like a mess. Now it's just a matter of getting things painted then back together!

Your bike looks like Lego to me. What are you going to paint?

Great job!
Just a curiousity, why did you have to dismantle the swing arm assembly from the engine block? It looks like you have more work than is needed there, I'm sure you have your reasons.
Keep up the good work, it's looking good already!

Frame is going to powdercoating and will be red... Still deciding on the rest but it's all gonna be repainted.

Frame won't come loose if you don't disconnect the swing arm.

Nice going so far!
How much time to do the tear down?
I take it you are powder coating the swing arm (LaRossa's question on why you detached it from motor)

The tire thing worked out well. Nice and soft for the big slug 1098! Probably have to use a riding lawn mower tire for the SF848.
