Left handlebar disassembly
The handlebars are next up for removal. This involves the electrical system a bit earlier than I had hoped, but it's pretty straightforward since it only involves disconnecting stuff. I did the left side yesterday, which controls the headlight/high-beam and horn, plus a brake cable.
It looks like the brake lever and housing can probably be cleaned up and re-used. The handlebar itself is deeply pitted with rust. I found a NOS handlebar online for $44, which will be cheaper (by far) than trying to re-chrome the rusted handlebar. Grips should be easy to find. The mirror is gone but I've already found a replacement.
Tonight I'll try to do the right side of the bar, which includes the front brake and twist throttle.
