Headlamp, speedometer, and front-end wiring removal
As you read this post, you can play a fun game of "count the number of insect carcasses and nests."
I pulled the headlight, speedometer, and front-end wiring. That's basically everything that was inside the plastic housing that bolts to the front forks. The plastic is chipped but likely salvageable. I plan to replace all of the wiring anyway. The speedometer is a closed unit and is in remarkably good shape. Provided it stull functions, it'll be saved for the rebuilt bike. In fact, I cleaned it up a bit and it looks great!
Individual parts that can be made to shine again provide motivation for the overall project:
Here are the documentation shots. It's kind of neat to see the front forks completely bare:
