Okay...ya'll probably don't wanna see this....and i probably shouldn't tell on my self.But,living in the sticks with no neighbors around(that are still awake)makes you get creative sometimes.I wanted my motor out tonight so this is what i did:

Step one:nothing but front end and motor on frame,all mounting bolts out and let down gently onto frame with a floor jack.Slowly let front tire roll forward to let off center stand.Gets bike low as possible to floor...

Lay on side with plenty of protective foam and rags for engine case/covers...

Take forks out of clamps to make frame lighter...

Lift frame off of engine...

Then QUICKLY upright engine before someone comes in and sees what the heck you just didI'm sure that I'm not the first to do this...strangely fun,though
