JMD…Thanks for the first hand report on self installation! Quick question….where/what on the engine did you attach the crane? I was also considering supporting from several points beneath the engine using screw type bottle jacks once I have it up about about 8-10 inches on jack stands. Has anyone done it this way?
If you look at the literature on the S&S X-Wedge, there is provision for a top mount for use in a bike frame. On the M3W, these are unused and often hidden under the fan cowl. A couple of chunky bolts into the cyliner head doing very little in our application. I made a simple metal strat to go between the two with a hoop for the engine crane hook. See Phil B's video on engine removal () at around 30 mins for an example.
