I have the same as Adrian. What i have found difficult is getting the bike on the center stand so i ended up using an electric jack to jack it up and push it down by hand, but it was my BSA B50 not the R65.

Hi Skippy - I did the same with mine once the motor was in the frame - I used a car scissor jack to lift it slightly - it's how I will get the thing off the stand this time too. The straps will sto it falling over even if they are loosened off.

And that day is almost upon me  ;) ;D
