[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 207353, member: 3959"] I have been assuming that the engine would need to be removed, but have been looking into the possibility of not splitting the cases. It has been said that it's possible, and if it is, then well that opens up other issues too. Since Andy has a set of heads for it, maybe he would be able to shine some light and offer his experience and $.02 on this article from V4musclebike.com; [URL]http://v4musclebike.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8924[/URL] My problem with that is, if I am going to go that far then I will want to have the frame powder-coated, and basically do a full restoration. Which would include having the two cases repainted/coated; because right now they look their age... So I think it can sit for now. I got time to make a decision on how far to go. Short of a full resto, I think m33's advice might be the best option; get it running and flip it. But damn I love these bikes, always have, and especially this year, make and model. And I know how dangerous falling in love with something can be, been there done that. Money pit comes to mind, but it was a $100.00 bike... [/QUOTE]
