Hi All,
Hope you guys can help me. I've agreed to help a freind of a freind with an engine swap on her Buell Blast( after ex hubby drained the oil without telling her).
Im a reasonably experienced home mechanic with 25 years of restoring, racing and fixing classic bikes but all have been metric bikes.
Two questions
1. What are the fastner sizes most common on the bike, they're not metric I presume so I'll need to buy allen wrenchs and sockets etc but dont want to buy tools I don't need.
2. Are there pitfalls that a Buell first timer would find doing an engine swap?
Cheers
