cb650 engine pull
« on: July 17, 2009, 01:16:50 PM »
Just looking for opinions here.

I'm considering pulling the engine out of my bike because it is in dire need of cleaning and painting. Do you guys and gals think it would be feasable to pull the engine out one day, get it painted, and get it back in the next afternoon? I've got a friend who can give me a hand both days. So what do you think?  ??? ???

Yeah you can do it if you start early and work late. I say it like this as you'll want to give the paint as much time possible to dry.
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.
