- November 07, 2013, 19:19:59 PMMy workroom is 48ft by 23ft by 14ft 6ins high and I have a small garage, so have plenty of room for real work when I need to..what I haven't got is energy and stamina.
If I have to remove an engine I erect a scaffold tower around the bike and fit straps from the tower to the frame and bars.

- November 07, 2013, 18:16:35 PMGreat topic ratman ! I myself bring the scoot into the man cave to do mods /cleanings etc for the winter months . Reason being I have no heat in the upper or lower part of my garage . ( been on the list for 8 yrs know and one day I'll get around to that 
) Any way I do both depending on the project . Sometimes I lay them out , bag them , or coffee cans work great or simply place the bolts back were they should be .

- November 07, 2013, 17:52:11 PM So today at work was talking with a few of the lads about winter projects on their bikes. The topic of how people do their rear down and maint. came up, I mentioned that I take parts off for cleaning / powder coating / painting / mod'ing. Then when I remove a part I always put the bolts or screws back into the frame or part that is staying on the bike. If there is no place to attach the pieces I put them in a zip lock bag and mark it as to the part they belong to.
This is because I can not lay the parts left to right on my bench, oh I don't have one in my living room, because I don't have a shop, my spare room becomes my parts area and it is limited. So just wondering what others do with their parts and pieces as they do winter projects, if you do them, yes PC we need to move down south so we can ride all year round and never do projects.
