The Take Down!

    
     This is not what I would consider fun.  Rusty, greasy, frozen bolts are a pain, and years of neglect make the process drudgery.  With every piece that comes off the excitement builds. 

 
Tank and seat first.

                                        Chain guard, battery and carburetor.

 
Breather box.
 
 
 
 
Chain guard, drive pulleys, rear fender, wiring harness, cables, exhaust,
 front control sets and rear wheel.
 
 
 
Lets set the tank back on and simulate the fabrication for the rear end and seat pan.
 
 
Yard stick to check seat height.

 
Stand over height should be around 29 to 30 inches.  Perfect!
 
 
A little cut and paste with Photo Shop and this may just work. 
I guess the next step is to sort out the oil leaks and the electrical system.  Then I will need to fabricate the seat pan and mounting frame.  Then the rear foot controls.  My plan as of now is to work my way to an operable motorcycle in the above configuration then worry about the cosmetics.
