I think you should go for it you are prepared to give the project as much time as it takes good luck to you. :thumbup:
Will you be posting your progress?

A handy tool would be a 3/8" or 1/2" drive hand impact driver. An example would be the hex head button head bolts that hold you front rotors on. I tried to remove one and it started to get marred. The hand impact driver will save you a lot of heartache on frozen bolts/nuts.
But don't forget the rattle gun, and the 36mm? socket to pull off the front sprocket. Breaker bar and broomhandle through the rear wheel in gear, with someone standing on the rear brake = :banghead::rant:
Rattle gun = :wav::steve::rockon::cheer:
And while you've got it in your hands, might as well rattle off those rear sprocket nuts as well
So i am summising that the job is now done! Thanks for giving me a great excuse to go for a ride...and deliver the socket adaptor! I managed to cover 124km from your house to mine and back home!!! :rockon:
Lol, oh I know I don't have the know-how for this. That's partly why I'm doing it.
And I might not go so extreme as the engine stuff. I'll probably chicken out with that to be honest. But right now my FZ is not in great shape and a LOT of parts on it need to be replaced. I literally cannot afford to spend 4 grand at the dealership like I did last year. I don't care if it takes me 10 months I am doing this on my own. You have no idea how pissed I was at how much money they took from me over those 5 months. Freaking ludicrous. Could have bought a decent trackbike for that much money. Bastards.
Anyway, today went to bike shop to check out what they used. I think I can do something similar but need to talk to a structural guy and find out if the beam in my garage can hold that. It's a beam built up from 4 - 2x10's.
