Had to basically drop the entire motor, which was one issue after another, but let me tell ya, I am now one bad ass dremel user, I have fabricated my own goddamn tool for the spacer bolts that compress the engine in the frame an am saving it for future use.

My radiator is zip tied in one mount space since the damn thing was apparently damaged after my accident in October, but it wasnt till we tried getting it back in that we realized it.

And a few other minor issues that were all resolved in the end, just tiring and irritating, but Dragon ready!! Whew!
I hate it when things that should be easy aren't anywhere near easy. BTW, check and replace those zipties regularly. Otherwise, they will wear out and crack, then eventually break.
