Default Remove engine incl. primary an transmission

Hello,

found this video on YouTube. At 1:43 they put the frame over the complete M8 engine including transmission and primary. Has anyone ever done this on a twin cam 96? I want to paint my frame and that would save a lot of work.

If someone is interested, it works with a 2009 TC96 engine…

I'm curious....

Did you do it like they did, by laying the engine on the cam chest side...??

Or did you do it by laying the engine of the primary side...??

How easy was it....??

I'm at the age where I can't throw around a Harley engine like I did as little as 10 years ago....

Like the guys in the video. We put it on the right side (cam shaft), without swingarm, fork, oil tank and wiring harness. Further, we put it on a wooden board and put other woods under transmission and cylinders. After loosening the screws, you could easily pull off the frame with a little twist. Is very light weight, but still better if you do it with a friend. It was a 2009 Softail, don’t know if you can do it with other models.
