Assembly order

All, I am ready to start putting my totally disassembled SF2 together, and -it being my first Laverda rodeo- I'm wondering if there's a step by step guide to assembly that I might reference.. For instance:

Is the bare frame simple placed over the engine? Or are there any parts that are best attached to the frame beforehand?

Was thinking that I would stabilize the engine by ratchet strapping to a smallish pallet. Is that the way to go?

Lift the pallet and add forks, swing arm and wheels next?

Etc, etc.....Thanks!
 
I get the wheels with appropriate suspension components on the frame and then lift the engine in with a jack of some sort.
Getting the suspension and wheels on if the engine is already in the frame is more difficult because of the weight.

Wheels on, bike on the centrestand, manoeuvre the engine in underneath, tilt fwd, fit the lower rear engine mount bolts loosely. if you haven't got a jack. lie over the frame, pivot the motor up by grabbing under the cyl head fins. Get anything (stud or screwdriver) into one of the top mounts and the rest is simple. They are dead easy to fit.
