    Yes it can be done. You have to support the engine via a frame across the strut towers and remove the k-frame to gain acess to the sump.

    I've done by unbolting engine mounts and lifting it up supporting it either across the strut towers or blocks of wood under the engine mounts . not easy to with the k frame in the way. This was on a VH 202 btw.
