Default Re: sv650 stripped and being cleaned/polished

I may have forgotten the camera was here at this point, because the engine has come out and headlights and clocks have been removed!!
however had the assistance of my pregnant wife to remove the engine!! She is a star you know!

Oh yeah and floor is really dirty now, splatterd with coolant, oil, grease and yes lots of sweat!!!!
Surprised actually how light the engine is, even the wife can lift it!!!!
Last engine we removed took 3 of us and was a damn site heavier(ok it was a gpx1100 engine made of cast iron, granite, lead, I don't know it was just fecking heavy)
Now for one handsome piece of mechanics!!!

I've even sat it on one of the wifes nice fur cushions off the bench!!!
Right, I may need your help with this one!
I keep staring at the photo and can't seem to work out what's missing.
What do you recon??


Bit of a jump again I'm afraid!
Was getting late and wife was moaning about having to clean up at stupid time at night so thought I'd better get a shift on, plus losing valuable cod4 playing time!!!
Removed rest of wiring and other few pieces and this is what we're left with, about 4 plastic tubs later!

So there you have it, one bike completely dismantled.
And apparently that's the easy bit!!!(My *ss)
Next part to continue with the start of the cleaning and polishing stages!
