yeah thats kind of a pain in the butt.

 

GL i am interested in the progress with your bike

 

Thanks man I'm getting a lot of hold ups. My girl goes to jail, someone breaks into my house, my cuzin demolishes my tools by accident so much BS when all I wanna do is work on my bike. Oh and my cuzin stole my drop light that's messed up. I did get to buy the right paint though. VHT rattle can for chassis and frame flat black with a semi gloss look.

 

Well I got some time today and I got a hold of a clymer manual and the manual says to remove the clutch and the alternator when removing the engine is this really necessary? I don't really want to remove them specially the alternator since I don't have a strap wrench and that's what it calls for. Has anybody removed the engine without removing the alternator?

 

Got a little bit done figured I'd show the progress I'm trying to stay motivated to continue. Took off the drive sprocket it was pretty dull.

took off the radiator and labeled some wires and crap

this is the paint I was talking about hopefully it will hold up on the swing arm, I read that swing arms take a beating from the debris that gets thrown around from the tire.

All I got to do now is remove the clutch I think not sure I'm hoping that the drivetrain comes off with the engine. Well I'll see tomorrow

 

Got the engine out today

 

got the frame off the engine it's ready for prep work.

swing arm

 

dang i cant wait til i have time to do that, the frame just looks like and empty canvass.

 

I finished sanding the frame and started priming it. This is a cell phone pic I'm gonna try to get my camera for better pictures.

 

I got the frame and swing arm painted. Now I got to wait for it to cure I can't wait to reassemble and paint the engine.
