Got yer work cut out for you!

I'm entirely envious of your lift though, that'll make it a load easier.

There was a line in the book, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" about a guy picking up a Hardley in pieces like this. The narrators' perspective was that he'd know just about all there was to know about the bike once he had it assembled.

And so will you.

Have fun!

some pics from inside the motor

my 3cv also was full of crap as well and it ran very hot after the filter was cleaned out did not get hot again

Do you intend to replace the shift forks, and undercut second gear while the motor's out? Seems like it would prudent, unless you know it's already been done. Be a shame to have to pull the motor once it's in and running.
