well, this would be exactly how I feel after yesterdays project. FUCKIN A!!!

Started about 12:30, ended 12:30, jesus christ it SUCKED!!! 12 hours of work for 10 minutes of actual repair!! Altho assuming I have to do this again, I will be MUCH faster...

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.

Yeah I know it comes in larger sizes than the tiny squeeze tube, but I was curious about some decent pricing.

I found a 250mL bottle but it was friggin 100 bucks!

2 motor mount bolts, they were grade 8, or hardened, or somethin. they were gay. looked just like your exhaust pipe, just bigger bolts, side by side in the frame. bottom of the frame, i didnt have a lift=me sittin on the ground with a drill for a long time

speakin of vibrators-any1 ever use that viberider to fuck with chicks? supposedly you put it in your passenger seat and it works off engine rpm-vibes harder the more u rev it.
