Simplex BBQ?

Probably not what you expected!  My wife said I stunk up the house the last time I heated and engine case to remove the bearing, so I decided to go outside.

Works just like the oven.  I put it on medium, about 350 degrees, for 10 minutes, and they came right out.

Had another BBQ today!  I put new bearings in the Sportsman motor.  Man, I am running out of time for Portland.

Probably unveil it in Portland. My rear sprocket has some awesome machine work on it. Even if I do say so myself! Just hoping that big Mikuni runs as cool as it looks.
