Ok, got everything done over the weekend and it has never felt smoother. Had a few hiccups along the way.
1) After getting the front/rear sprocket and chain on. Pulled in the clutch to start it, when it was not connected...Fluid came out. So I got to bleed the clutch line for the first time. Not bad.
2) Two bolts holding on the rear sprocket stripped out. Which is weird because they torqued just fine 2.5 weeks prior. The nuts won't loosen up or tighten up, so i'm fairly confident that they won't come flying off anytime soon.
Other then that, it went fine.
To get the front sprocket off, we used a crescent wrench. To rivet the chain, I used a sledge hammer and a regular hammer. To keep the bike up I used rope and a wratchet strap. Plus, me holding it up long enough for my buddy to tighten it down.
Here some pics of the sprockets
Then one of the rivet job on the chain.
Then some pics of my awesome lift...
