The morning started rather decent with me and Mr. Meow picking up the slightly crusty 850 from storage...
(There's about 20km between those two pictures!)
Post lunch it was get-the-old-750-out o' clock

| The 4 driveshaft-bolts have to be removed |
 |
| Oilfilter-housing has to be removed as well |
... and it comes out rather easily.

And is in before you know it.

| Exhaust installed again and everything's fine. |
Everything? No. Unfortunately one of the pistons rusted to the cylinder bore and I am not entirely sure anymore whether it spun over when I bought it or not and this was because it was a bit damp when being stored... Which in turns means, next week, the other XS-Triple-Sidecar will donate its presumably flawless engine to this cause and the other XS-Triple-Sidecar will receive the 750 (which runs fine, but re-registering my 750 to an 850 after getting all the paperwork done is a nightmare, which means I have to get all the mods I want to have in the papers in one go or pay stupid amounts of extra money...)
