It's starting to look a little like a motorbike.

The workshop manual states that the frame has to be upright (as in not on the side stand) so I used a floor jack to get it up on some wood blocks. Then I thought that I should make sure it didn't get pushed over as I jemmied the engine in so I strapped it to immovable objects and we were set to go. I anticipated that this was going to be a nightmare but the it took less time to get the engine in the frame than it did to type this. That said, fully assembled, it is quite a lump to pick up so I placed a workmate near the frame to act as a landing zone for the journey from the workbench and then a pile of old quilts by the frame. Anyway hats off to the designer who made sure that I didn't need a shoehorn and a tub of Vaseline.
There was, of course, the usual nausea like discovering a switch that needed installing and having to remove the foot pegs again to do it but all in all it was a huge success. I decide to use the original left cover as opposed to the one I bought as the stator was still connected and I was anxious to move on. If I  ever need to remove the seized on inspection plate I will work something out later.
So here we are and I am still looking at the ancillary parts like they are a jigsaw but I think that we can all agree it is starting to take shape.

I realised that I forgot to add the as yet unused crankcase cover to my running total and since the last post I have also bought two oil filters and a battery. So my parts spend now stands at $498.46.
