replacing the frame on a 99 Interstate

[B-2]

This is my first time pulling the engine on a Valkyrie I am replacing my frame with another one can I drop the engine with the carbs left on the engine I know the manual says to pull them it looks like it will just come out with them still on the engine I have pulled the air box I don't need to do any work on it just putting it all back on the new frame it looks like the wiring is going to be the hardest thing to put back together   Thanks Bill

When I parted out my IS, I removed the air box, then supported the engine and removed the hanger and frame bolts. Then lowered the engine. I recall taking the starter and alternator off, but I do not recall if it was needed.

I removed the carbs after I had the frame off the engine.

Thanks  I didn't see any reason I needed to but better to check than mess something up it looks like the wiring is going to be the hardest thing to stuff it all back were it goes Thanks again Bill
