I might be able to take one apart but I'd NEVER get it back together. Best of luck!

Took the engine out on my own today, I can tell you it weighs a bomb. Started taking the very loose powdercoat off as you can see from the photos below.
I managed to undo one fork leg and swop the bottom over inserting new oil seal and dust ring, but the other fork leg is proving to be a bit of a ??????? to undo.

I hope you really got a good deal on that bike, cause she is pretty ugly with all the rust and corrosion. But I am sure all it will take is time and money and she will be good as new, or almost.  Good luck on your project though!  I wouldn't mind finding a Bonneville, Speedmaster or America to chop the he11 out of it and make something custom to my liking.

are those knee pads on backwards/wrong side?
Good luck with the rest of the job. Looks like a nice winter project

Damn... so that's what the bottom of the motor looks like! I actually needed to see that. I have a oil leak around my starter and I see that I probably need to check a couple of bolts to make sure they are tight. Very useful. Thank you for posting!

Tighter bolts probably won't stop the oil leak. The starter motor has a nitrile compression o-ring on the end of the case that goes into the crankcase. I've had to replace mine lately and go with a slightly larger width. Not to hijack the thread though you might want to start a new one.

Yes you are right those knee pads have been put on the wrong way round. The rest of the bike is a little bit shabby but before I bought it, it had spent its life parked outside... Hopefully will look alright when it all goes back together...
