The move to Darwin has come around pretty quick so the need to get the bike parts ready for transit has been in the back of my mind. The Virago repair manual suggest that a frame of 2x4 will support the engine. With a 4 day drive on the cards I wanted to make sure that the engine was completely secure.
Using 900mm lengths of 4x2 I cut the end off to match the width of the sump. The remaining frame was screwed to this base. This provided a sled to move the engine easily and prevented the motor from moving. As always Eddy wants to sit in on the action.
Both engines crated and ready to go. The drive UJ stuck out slightly, but to fit the crates in I faced them end to end. Worked a charm - everything got to the other end in one piece.
