I don't know but it seems a little complicated for this Jar Head Jim. I think I'll be letting the dealer or someone else do my heavy lifting. Besides, my garage is used by other people who will be sure to loose, dent, scratch or otherwise ruin my bike/parts.

I envy you guys though. Like someone else said, I'll be moving very slow, one change at a time, but I'll get there eventually.

Dont know if you got an answer yet but what I did was put a floor jack under the scoot and jack it up just enough to get my hand under the rear fender so I could remove the bolts....Good Luck

aside from reassembling the wiring harness, everything goes back together pretty easily.. its just like a screwed up erector set..

and as you can see, I don't even have a garage, I have a dining room.

Jim I'm sorry but I'm sitting here LOL at your long post there. Wish I could help you and it sounds like you have the same luck I'd have if I did all that work. Good luck with finishing it bro!

I sent NAMZ an email last night and they called me first thing in the morning and are sending the extra harness today.

Now, I got to go out and find a 2 hose clamps for the cross over and, ****, something else. I forget what it is now. Damnit. Oh yeah, nicer looking banjo bolts. Then again, I could just paint the old ones black once the bike is back together...

I thought about doing a quick-disconnect for the x-over, but it wasnt really that big of a deal to drain the tank and who doesn't love the smell of gas?

Ok, now that is funny. I feel ya, I just can't believe I didn't do that when I had mine apart.
