Coming together

We are now into the reassembly phase.  Mr. S is now using his smartphone for photos, so the quality won't be as good, but we'll still document the project as it comes to completion.
The frame is now mounted on the engine, and Mr. S did some learning, as he'd never worked with a shaft-drive motorcycle before.  However, reading the instructions is always a good place to start, and the swingarm is now back on as well.  It won't be too long until the bike is back on its feet!  The triple clamps were also reassembled with new tapered steering stem bearings, which were re-packed with new grease.  Some extra grease-packing practice took place as well, as both sides of the swingarm pivot also have tapered roller bearings, albeit much smaller.
