Deconstruction
Taking the bike a part does that. Kinda the dirty part and much easier than reassembly. A lot of bikes get dissasembled with good intentions of the owner to be restored. Then their parted out or sold as is. But this bike will be put back together; this ain't my first rodeo. Front end and the swing arm have to be removed. The drive shaft has to be removed from the swingarm. Seems endless, but you move along component by component. Front forks will be dissaembled and rebuilt. One thing about it now is that it is light and easy to move around. When I got ready to roll it out to take pics, I couldn't find the front axle. A socket extension made a fine front wheel axle.
