Now I feel a whole lot better on how I work on my bikes.

I thought this would raise a few eye brows, I had a good laugh too when he was cutting the manifold tubes with a saw. I don't think I would put that procedure in a manual, :-)

Same technique I always use .  Cannot wait to see the sequel, "How to Rebuild a Motor." ...Larry

Wow, he's gonna build another one of those cool Cafe Racers! I can't wait!

I have a feeling this is probably one of those projects that will never be finished... more likely another one of those projects that gets blown apart and stuffed in boxes only to realize he has no skillz whatsoever.

Makes me want to shoot my own how-to video. I can start with a running bike, and with my home-made 2" tube steel "C" hook on the engine hoist, have the engine out in ninety minutes. My method does not require removal of the wheels, nor does it require the bike to be laid down. One man operation. The hardest part is attaching the removable legs to the engine hoist.

Hey Madmtn -    do you have a pic of your contraption ?    I vaguely remember something to that effect.   Was going to fab up something - got a motor that needs to come out soon.

Yep, check this post: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=61168.msg1282566#msg1282566

The attachment to the load leveler is a little overkill, I have yet to feel the need to adjust the load leveler. I plan to shorten the top tube and add a loop at the center so the hook can hang directly from the hoist. The leveler gets in the way of the handlebars more than anything. I can sketch up dimensions if you like, I think there's more than one member interested in this! Another member posted picts of this idea, but I have been unable to track down that post. The best part is I made this out of scrap tube steel laying out behind the garage! A little rattle-can black adds some class!

Yup,but first he has to spend a bunch of money on things that make it look cool. Video starts out with the (sound) of a running bike,next thing you know the motor is shot. I guiess the next video is where he grinds the phillip heads off the covers.
