Hi all now that I'm back in regular employment it's left me with the option of keeping my bike (yipee!! ). Plan is a full respray, powder coat the frame & swingarm, new bearings all round, carb O-rings, fork seals (if I can't find the later USDs & yolks), new discs & pads & HEL braided lines, new clutch, new tyres & new C&S. I was wondering where to start the strip down i.e how would you do it? Obviously the body work has to come off first but would you start with the exhaust & engine?

Just start stripping it down one bit at a time starting from the rear subframe, clip-ons, brakes, exhaust wiringing the engine will be one of the last things to come off but just make sure you take lots of pic's and bag and lable all the nuts and bolts
