I was surprised at how little fab work was involved but it would take time to get everything jiving together. Keep searching...you'll find a cool...
Engine mounts are surprisingly similar. Definitely do-able. If I was given both items I would do it just for fun. If it was free or very cheap why...
LOVE the engine stand trick! Seems you have a handle on it. Sanders are nice in the beginning but you'll want to switch to manual when you get to...
HA! You're just going to get it in safe, riding condition while you restore the other one huh? I've got news for you...your OCD won't let you do...
Wait...someone taking offense to comments about what bikes they ride? Huh! You were quite eloquent in describing why you ride whichever bike...
Yep, better than nothing, at least you'd know if it was free. It won't give you a bearing knock by hand if there's a problem with the crank....

Hang in there, it's starting to come together nicely.
Thanks Duccmann, it's been quite a project. Unfortunately' it's not done. I'm working on an auxiliary cooling system and a different ignition...
It's easy to do, especially when the motor is on the bench but for some reason I've always hated doing them. The screw adjustment from too tight...
I only mention it Don cause some new R owners put an oil mod on their must do list but I have my doubts but peace of mind is priceless I suppose....
Since it's snowing this weekend, I thought I'd get some inside work done. I've been meaning to do a valve adjustment for some time now but it's...
Fantastic. That lower radiator looks amazing as does everything else. Keep 'em coming!
That really blows. Sorry to hear it. I have yet to see a fightered R look anywhere near decent. There is so much going on behind that upper...
Jamie's "unproved opinion" carries as much weight as the "same quality" assertion which is itself unproven and likely wishful thinking. But even...
Love the 350. The big F is in capable hands. Hopefully your shop is warmer than the single digit temps mine has seen latey.
