    Yes.

    I'm guessing the clutch is getting in the way (internally) of removing the cover as well?

    You should be able to rotate the engine forward far enough to get that to clear. Just keep and eye on fuel line and wiring to coil/plugs.

    Have any pictures of the whole bike? :D

    That's awesome.

    That looks like a shop (and 2-3 more bikes) in the background, or is that your garage?

    just cut the frame section out... others have done it for exhausts. The frame is not important at all... LOL - j/k

    Nice one pony lol. Actually not a bad idea. Cut it right and make the section removed boltable so it can be put back. Like some jap frame to aid engine removeable.

    Which Buell's for sale shortly? The RS1200??? DIBS!!

    Do NOT cut the frame. Bolts are not as strong as welds. It's really not difficult to rotate the engine, if it's anything close to the Blasts or XB's. It's 1 of 200 bikes...don't cut it.

    I was just kidding... going back to the ass on ebay selling an x1 with the frame section cut out so he could use a s1 header.

    IF you bike is like the other tubers, it should pivot at the rear isolators I would think
