After getting the frame situation under control, it was time to start on the motor. As you can see from the photos, I had my work cut out for me. I completely disassembled the motor and again had to consult a professional for help. The left half of the engine case was severely damaged and had to be partially reconstructed. Once this was done and the machine work complete, my good friend Tim Cummings of “The Old Man’s Hog Shop” helped with the assembly. We then set the frame over the engine and bolted it up. Due to the design, the swingarm had to be installed on the frame prior to engine installation. The forward mounted foot controls were also installed at this time, as they bolt to the front motor mounts.
