I need to remove the tubular frame that the oil cooler attaches to (for corrosion treatment and paint) More significantly I note it braces the spine beam bellow the steering head to the engine.
Has anyone removed this piece before?
I already have the forks removed (for overhaul) and have the bike supported with a paddock stand on the swing arm and the motor supported on wood blocks.
Should I disassemble the back end (to reduce any strain) and/or prepare a temporary brace for the front end between the spine and the motor?
Thanks in advance
