Motorcycle Rebuild – Day 2

April 4th, 2009 (Motorcycle)

Well, this is actually day 2.5 I guess (I removed the wiring last Sunday, but didn’t put up any pics of that). I worked off and on for a few hours (maybe 4?) today and got the frame removed from the engine (along with the radiator, exhaust, starter, alternator, etc…). So far, I really haven’t run into any stuck bolts which is good. I’m thinking that the next step will be to get the transmission and drive train removed from the engine which I’ll then be able to throw up on the workbench and start removing the top end. I also have all kinds of things to clean up and a frame to remove from the front wheel and strip to get ready for powder coating. It’s exciting that I’m actually starting to make some visible progress. You can see the state of things in the pictures below.
