Engine installation

Some significant milestone here! The single thumper is seated back in the right place. During the initial installation, the engine is not supposed to be attached onto the frame using the tube cradle, as I thought before. First, it needs to be hang up from above and backside to the respective brackets like with a typical backbone frame.     



Lifting the engine on a jack, reminiscence of Laverda-like slope and a gearing cascade



Lower cradle tubes and generator rotor attached  




Plus clutch housing





At this point, the dog who appears to be of pitbull descent concluded that the assembly is going way too smoothly and decided to trash the plastic front wheel hub cover (the plug). He has already trashed various sort of things, from mp3 player, sunglasses to book by Remarque (in order to affirm himself in his far-right determination). A painfull loss, the part is unavailable as OEM and had been previously welded and painted up to the satisfactory condition. Luckilly, I spot a used part by breakers on eBay which is currently in transit.
