XS850 Strip Down day 2




























Definitely a story of stripped - sheared and shagged bolts - all day just to get to this stage - not sure if the project is going to be viable to be honest - so many bolts shearing and we have one exhaust header clamp bolt sheared off in the head, Centre plug needing helicoiling, and front left engine mount bolt sheared off. FUN FUN FUN!

Engine is now loose in the frame and all components are bagged and labelled. Just need to get the lowdown on engine removal now.
