[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 207375, member: 1650"] It almost sounds like it is harder to do it that way than to remove the engine. I have not done any transmission work on my Sabre. closest was a vfr750. I am thinking like you that if you are going to leave it in the frame and flip it, I would see to the linkage, and any tired springs on the shift mechanism, put a seat cover on it , and shoot for 10x on the price. If you spent a week of nights doing the transmission all for second gear you might get 2-400 more for it, depending on how bad second is right now. If I was taking that one out of the frame I would probably do what you are contemplating and may actually do something I seldom do, and that is the powder coating you are considering, providing you can get it done cheap. (I get mine for the price of materials, but it is work to get it done BELIEVE me.) Then keep it and ride it. For a situp bike the old ones are as good and satisfying to ride as the new ones. The British and Italians didnt make the only bikes that became classics, and any v4 is a classic already in my book. [/QUOTE]
