Do you have to ask what Flash? LOL
Okay here's the update. I pulled the motor out and killed my back in the process but it's okay, I'm drowning the pain in beer.
I'm getting tired of looking at it already! I wanna ride! But I'll take 4 months if I have to. (That will never happen)
I'll try to get pics up as soon as I can, which should be tomorrow evening.

You guys
I'll say it again ..... you don't pull the motor out of the frame ... you pull the frame off the motor. One boy job and no broken backs.

"..... you don't pull the motor out of the frame ... you pull the frame off the motor. One boy job and no broken backs."
Learned the same lesson with the Sportster I re-did. Laid the frame/engine on the bench and took off the frame leaving the engine. That was after I just about blew out a disc doing it the other way.  The Sportster didn't have a 45 lb. crank either. Will be waitin' for pics on the rebuilds.

That's what I did, I put it on the right side and pulled the frame off, I just have a bad back and it doesn't take much to hurt it. I didn't pull the motor really, I pulled the frame. It was still a PITA though.

As promised, the new pics. I know it looks like I'm going backwards but I assure you all I'm a few steps closer now.
This is how I left it last night, I was in too much pain to continue.
This is how it sits now.
Now I can finish the welds smooth it all out. I'm going to cut off anything that is not necessary and grind down all the welds. Then powder coat the frame and the legs of the springer.

Oh and before it all goes back together, I'm going to cut the a pillar and rock it back a little (like doc did) and lower the rear fender some more.
