Thanks to all who posted tips here and there for engine removal.
Got it out of the '78 Cafe by myself , with a minimum of fuss.
Milk crates are your friend!

I did the out and in alone but had help with the moving. I made two rope slings, looped through the motor mounts from 1/2 inch extra heavy rope for haulin' it through the house and down the stairs to the basement workbench. I tied the slings just long enough to get it off the ground. Wouldn't want to drop it from three feet onto your foot!

P.S. Kevin, just saw the other thread. Congrats on getting it squared away and running.

people have had success putting the engine on its side and then laying the frame over the engine and putting in the bolts then lift bike upright and adding bolts to opposite side.
