You can see from some of these pictures the amount of rust on the frame and around the battery box.  Notice the handlebars are so short the front brake reservoir cable had to be kinked and stressed in order to fit.  It will be replaced for sure!

To the right, you can see the battery box, and how deteriorated it is.  And the engine also.  Below, I begin by removing the air box and filter, the battery box, and the wiring panel with the voltage regulator, fuses, etc.

This is the 4-into-1 black exhaust that was on the bike.  It's in two pieces connected by a clamp.  I'll have to get a complete original exhaust from Ebay.

Most everything is off the frame that needs to be, so now I can start removing the cam cover, the head, and the cylinder block.  Once that's done, I can unbolt the engine and remove it from the frame.

Above, the cam cover is off, exposing the single overhead cam, and when it's removed, the rubber inserts are removed. 

Below you can view the cylinder block after the head has been removed.  The Cam Chain is visible as is the cam chain guide and tensioner.  The block comes off next, and then the engine will be light enough that I'll be able to lift it out of the frame.

So now, the engine is out of the frame, and the front-end removed, along with the rear wheel, swingarm and shocks.  The frame is off to be powder-coated, and the Engine disassembly is next.
