Good job!
It can be stressful. I would wonder "what if the chain breaks right over the nose?", and stuff like that...

AZDoug, wmf62,
I can't agree more with both comments! I almost didn't take the picture with the motor "dangling" over the nose because of the same fear.....
Thankfully, all went well. I also got the new windshield put together and installed yesterday (after cracking the first two). Expensive lesson, but it's done.
Thanks again for all the advice!

Yeah. What you said.
I did the math with yield strength of even cheap grade 3 steel and cross section of those carb studs, and the math says it is fine by a large margin, but my gut went, no, no, no.

I would much rather use larger diameter intake or exhaust or accessory bolts to be safe rather than sorry...
