Day Four (ish)

As you may have guessed the day s are not running sequentially.

Oh well. If I can live with it, so can you.

After much pulling, lifting and pushing, I removed the engine. I might add that the engine is rather heavy. Without the engine, I can lift the bike up and pull it around the garage. (Note: I cannot lift the entire bike (still 300lbs)). I can grab the back end and pivot it easily around the shop, which I could not do with the engine installed. 

This week is Thanksgiving week, and so I hope to have the dismantle totally complete including the engine and frame.

Much of the painting I will complete myself with rattle cans and such, but for the frame, I am going to let a local paint shop powercoat it. I have not decided what to do with the tank, I may try that myself.
