Hey everyone over winter i intend to strip the shadow down to frame for inspection and powdercoat . If i feel pretty comfortable should I tackle myself or is it not as straight forward as it seems? I've got basic mechanical skills swapped engines in cars but never had engine out of any of my bikes . My bigges problem will likely be lack of tools /patience but i won't be road legal till about April/march 2015 Thanks guys and all opinions welcome i do have a mechanic who'll do strip down and bck together for around 600 but would much prefer putting that towards parts or insurance
