Yer lucky.
People and their excuses !
yes, but it’s on the 17th floor....Surely you have a house / flat etc with a kitchen / living room / bedroom?
Plenty of space to work on the bike.
Just a question of priorities
Years ago a lad by me lived in a council high rise on the tenth floor, he used to take his 500 Suzuki up every night in the lift, no one batted an eyelid.
I used to live in an old warehouse loft in Seattle, half a block from the police station where the riots were last year. Rode thru the carb shop, up the freight elevator down the hall to my 2500sf loft. Guy next door had an old BSA single and did the same thing.
But, if you had just pushed it, you might have got away with it a bit longer. . . . .
Do yourself a favor. When you install the exhaust system on the bike, coat all the faying [contact] surfaces with anti seize. That will ensure that the parts will disassemble easily in the future. It also will prevent the faying surfaces from rusting.
