Sparty's engine is now in the frame.
« on: September 12, 2007, 07:25:04 PM »
Guys,

Scroll to the bottom of the page.  I installed the engine today by myself.  It was a real pain in the butt, but I got it.

Amen to that.  I installed a 17 tooth front spocket so that I only have to buy rear tires. ;D

  The 17T front will be super fun indeed, mileage be damned.Methinks another disk up front might be in order, in case any varmints cross your path.

Yes the breather cover had to come off.  I installed the exhaust and oil cooler today.
The pics are on my site.

How many hours so far?

It is great to see such attention to detail. Truly pretty.

CR carbs: Are they set up like the older bikes with a fuel solenoid/feed? Just curious.

Have a ballpark idea of how much power that engine will put out?
