[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 36690, member: 60"] Here is my small contribution Vins are not like normal bikes you cant do the frame and pop the completed engine in without jigs the critical path is [engine -front - back] rather than the conventional [frame -or- engine -put em together] this is not a good way to go I have found that its best to always have at least two paths to follow three is even better because always something out of your control will halt one build path so a frame to hold the ufm so all the front end can be built and a spare vice or clamp so the rfm and rear can be built while the engine is in surgery is a better way Having said that on my Flash I am trying a engine jig that is strong enough to hold the completed bike but in that case I started with a fairly good engine that just needed timing and primary and anyway as its from disparate parts with modifications its a build-strip- pretty up-rebuild job whereas a refurbishment is often a one pass operation [/QUOTE]
