After another short delay I was back to working on the Dnepr MT-11 this weekend. \u00a0I installed the sidecar shock and spring, which required compressing with a ratcheting tie-down strap made into a loop. \u00a0The sidecar frame took only a few minutes to mount. \u00a0After rolling the bike onto the lawn for a few pictures, I thought about installing the engine too. \u00a0With the engine resting on the motorcycle jack, I rolled it next to the frame and pumped the jack to life the engine to the correct height. \u00a0It really didn’t take much to maneuver the engine into the frame and slide the mounting bolts through the frame.<\/p>\n

I then slipped the left exhaust pipe and muffler into place for a few pictures. \u00a0I like how the bike is coming along so far, but as the temps slip into the freezing range, I’ll soon be setting up the heater in the garage for future work.<\/p>\n
