Found a 96 motor to put in my 1990

Yo... still in use.
I been on a Honda Shadow 1100 since this bike took a nap.
I'm so excited to feel some acceleration.

 

What did you end up doing to remove the stud?
Glad that you are making progress.

 

The crome drill chuck looking one. I had to file a pair of flat spots to get the jaws to bite. Relaxed. Had my cat hold a light for me and filed away.
But lost the right front coil bracket and coil!
May just use the 96 setup. I opened up the harness and now have fresher connectors for the coils. Same colors.
I can see how and where the cut weight here and there. Front wheel uses the same brake setup. Just with floating disk.
Fork tubs are 3/4 of an inch shorter.

 

why you need wifey pulling you away, it is way more quality time wrenching on your bike than being with the human. My bike is called "First Wife" for a reason, daughter and human wife knows this chit. LOL
