Guys the ol brain has turned to mush, Advise here pleease.
my options are 1) get the rolling chassis in wellington shipped up and find the time to fit the motor myself.
2)see if white trashes work can put the two together and ship motor down
3) ask the welly guys to fit the motor for me and ride her back up to dorkland
4 Something I havent thought of

Not being used to these new fangled machines with more pistons than is strictly required in a proper motorcycle..... How long do you think it will take to do the transplant? (assuming you had all the tools and the patient was preped)

ie Is this a major jobbie?

You bring the grimed fingernails, and I'll bring the beer.

I will help if i can. I had to transplant a vt250 engine once. It took a whole day for me nd CK to do it but then again it was the first real work i did on a bike so we did it slow. Not to difficult unless you got a bad back :killingme

Im thinking with the right tools and manpower itll be a 3 hour job
It took me 3 hours to get the motor out of the frame but a fair few bits n bobs were pretty badly bent N twisted

I'll have a talk with Verne - he pulled the motor out of the frame. We'll see if he can come and give us a hand to put the motor in.

That is, of course, if Siobhan will let him ..... :whistle:

uM GUYS - I haven't even asked you guys--I mean Im like pretty embarressed really :o
So Um er guys could you guys fit the motor for me? :love2:
My thinking is to ship the motor down this week to welly
Where -still to be decided --I mean welly is a small town isnt it??
Then fly down there on a saturday night -(If ya don't have an airport I could parachute in) and ride up on the sunday.
That should give me a full day to get back up to dorkland. -half a day to get to the bombays the other half to get through the traffic to home

I'll gladly help but I see danger here...

It's not fitting the motor that will take the time, it's finding all the right bolts and shit from the pile of munt left over. Unless you took the motor out it's pure guess work what goes where.

There is bound to be a problem with the throttle cable or some shit like that.

I don't even want to guess about a service so it's rideable....

I'm an OHV guy. DOHC scares me shitless and as for 4 carbs... fark!

Anyone else want to put there hands up! (no, not there)

Ummm, I'd want the motor for a week before you turn up.

Send it to my place of work and I'll get it sorted.

Just ring a freight company, such as Mainfreight or whatever. They may ask you to del the motor to them and strap it on a pallet.

Just sort the fucken thing so I can have a ride :lol:

Guess what turned up today? On me doorstep addressed "White Trash @ Bike shop, Welling-town"

It's here. Now I better head up to Upper Hutt and grab the main bit off Vern.

The project is underway! Wahoo.

Just so ya know, Frosty, I'm using this as a training mission to teach the wife how to chuck a bike together badly. :whistle:

Make sure that she does most of the important work on it!

P.S. Why not let the kids help out too, I am sure that it'll be a great family fun project! :niceone:

Ahh the kids.

They've already been a great help by dropping their marbles into the very open and exposed inlet manifolds.

Who the fuck taught you to transport a motor, Frost?

Well actually. I reckon *you've* been had 'cause that motor looks too small for a 7 fiddy to me. I rekon they've done a 400 transplant when you weren't looking.

Fuck yeah, you're gonna cut some quick lap times on a 400 motovated 750 chasis :killingme
