The project begins
Hi Guys
Started the overhaul project today. Got a couple of pics before I started to dismantle.

Now a photo of the result, I took this before I finished and only have the swingarm, rear wheel and yokes to remove. i was hoping to get it all done but did not have a socket big enough to do it.

On looking at the HT leads they definately need replacing, anyone know the best best place/brand to use?
On the whole I am pleasantly pleased with how the bike came apart, only four bolts got stuck as they had been rounded off but i managed to remove them. not bad considering most of them have not been removed for 18 years.
I will keep updating this thread with progress unless you feel a new topic is required with each update.
