Sorry to see Hackjob go. I hope the new owner will keep us posted on its progress. How did you go about removing the engine from the 1100? Did you use that technique of "going after it"?

Ha! Yep, I just went after it. Just rigged up a couple straps from the rafters while the bike was on the lift, loosened the engine from the frame, then swung the engine to the side while lowering the lift. Easy-peasy....what did we do before lifts??

As far as the new owner, he's a super good guy and seems really excited about owning the bike. He built a nice twin cam 750 similar to how my '80 was set up. But here in about a week he is being deployed again. So for that, I too hope to hear from him again. Soon. God bless our Vets and Soldiers.
