Fitting motor - 1979 900ss   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #811 of 863 |
Hi

I have been rebuilding my 1979 900ss Duke for the past 6 months and am ready to
fit the motor back into the frame now but am having trouble getting it back in!
I have a chain block and a couple of slings and have tried several different
ways - have had the bottom bolt at the rear in and tried to swing the front up -
no way! various other methods but havent been able to fit it - it fouls on the
protrusion at the rear of the crank case . Does anybody know the best method to
be used?

cheers

John
