The easy bit is the taking apart to aid you in putting it all back - take pics loadsa pics as you dismantle as reference to help when you put it back together. AS BSM is finding after his rebuild cable and loom routing can go awry and be a pain to rectify after it's all back together.

Careful with the engine bolts as they can seize - search for threads on fabricating a custom socket etc.

i have taken front and bak wheel off with a stand under engine and swing arm . took cradle off all fairings etc clock etc .. next gonna take front folks off then the air box ... and as far as i see please correct anyone if im wrong but then once i unbolt stuff from the frame and unbolt the ones going through engine i shud be able to lift the frame upwards away from the engine leaving it all still sat there ?? .. good ?? bad ??

Nearly said don't forget to unbolt the swingarm...then realised which bike I was talking about lol

you could always carbon wrap the frame, not easy but the finished look would look good....

i'd paint the frame black and then carbon wrap the top beam so to speak, it would look very nice, i'd suggest you buy the best quality wrap you can, it makes a real difference imho. thats if you change your mind mate

Request sent - just in case you wondered why a man in a blonde wig wants to be your friend!

If you get the frame painted / powder coated bung some old bolts or bluetack in so you don't have to clean out the threads of paint.

Nice Boucher! interesting composition....

If you can purloin a milk crate and stuff that under the engine then once the engine is undone lift the frame off like a wheel barrow.

thats the plan wen i get my hands on a key socket to get engine out lol
