    Can't wait, it will fix the frame i have thats missing the neck.
    Its the only way to get a 4 cylinder in and out of any frame unless its an across and the frame unbolts.
    I did the same thing on my GT550, was so simple to get it in that way and i didn't have to lift 80+kg of engine.

    ZXR and CBR have no frame under the engine, fzr has a removable subframe or something from memory. Alloy spar frames make it easier

    Wow, you're going to need a bigger shed! Or at least a couple less bikes taking up room....

    It's going to be 38 deg's on Saturday - I think you will find yourself friendless in that heat!

    What have i done to my bike today? Not enough. Most of my time spent working on my bike means waiting for parts or waiting for money. The other 1% is working on my bikes.

    It's pretty much over 30 all day, if not all night, too. And summer is only just starting. Our place got a shower of rain (sparse, you had to be in just the right spot), enough for puddles and even a little run of water! It'll probably be dried up by 7am.

    I feel like about my job (motorcycle mechanic shop): today was particularly unproductive with the boss away and between the phone and the door, I changed a tyre and brake switch. I might go to work tomorrow just to get something done with doors closed and phone ignored! Might take my bike to work on, too...

    I put a chain and sprockets on the VTR, tried to free the front master cylinder but joining a working one to it, but I only managed to break the brake lever. Going to have to grease gun it. Once the brakes are sorted, it'll go for sale.

    I reassembled the TTR and listed it for sale - even went for a test ride to check on the cattle.

    I'm having a bit of a sell up: I can't keep doing project bikes, they've got to go!
