                I think all three of you are going to need to drink me share! And I have no doubt you will accomplish it with enthusiasm and skill

                There is no rest for the wicked if I want to get the Dirty Lady running again by Monday...and my garage cant take much more in the way of anger fueled aerial tool/part attacks...

                    I know this story....

                    I've about perfected the combo wrench throw... you know the one that comes out from under a vehicle about shin high? Usually there is a loud bang followed by some new made up words, then out comes a 3/4 inch combo wrench in a tight flat Chinese star type motion...

                          Not to start a Buell thread, but I was able to re-thread an XS11 with the engine in the frame. You hook up a shopvac to the blowing side, duct-tape the hose to the muffler, turn the crank enough so that the exhaust valve is open, and the cuttings will fly out of the hole. I didn't use the helicoil brand insert. Mine looked something like a threaded sewing thimble with a hole for the sparkplug electrodes.

                            I thought about that, but the way the buell frame is its almost impossible to get to without rotating the motor down....
