Engine in.

So I installed new tapered steering head bearings in the frame and onto the bottom yoke.

Next up was to reinstall the engine, I was dreading this part because of the danger of scratching the frame. As it happens I did manage to scratch it once on one of the exhaust studs, but I think it will be hidden behind the exhaust clamp where the down pipes connect to the engine. Made me feel sick when I did it though! Never mind...

I laid the engine on it's side and lowered the frame over it. Not as simple as it sounds I can assure you! After much wriggling around it went on, then it was a matter of getting a bolt in at a time and gradually line the mounts up.

Swing arm and shock is on, this was quite straight forward and ok to do. Started putting on footrest mounts etc so moving on at a reasonable pace for a change.
