At last, I get to start putting this motorcycle back together. Every time I install an engine in the frame it’s a milestone. Instead of taking things apart, I am starting down the road to getting it all back together again :-).
Here is a link to the documentation and the video I shot.

I had the frame powder coated.
Powder Coated Frame
I use some foam packing sheets to wrap the tubes so I won’t ding the powder coat when I put the engine inside the frame.
Frame Protected With Foam Sheets
The top is off the engine so it’s lighter and easier to install in the frame.
Engine Supported With 2×4

This is the hardware used to mount the engine in the frame.

It’s mounted on my portable motorcycle lift ready to install the top end.
