If your frame paint is still good you can grind off 90% of the rivet and punch it out with the air hammer.

Knocking them out is the easy part. The pesky fuel tank in your way is part of it as well.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
