Got the majority of the parts off today. The rear fender weighed much more than I thought it would, but that was a good thing, bc it will drop the overall weight of the bike.
Windshield is gone, tassels are gone, I found a weird bell hanging on the bike, sissy bars gone, passenger pegs gone. During the tear down I did learn quit a lot about the bike and it helped me shape my final design concept. I am keeping the front turn signals, but I am changing the lenses from amber to clear.
The front fender was the biggest pain in the ass I have had to deal with thus far, it required 3 trips to autozone to get the right tool just to get it off. The 4 bolts that hold it on were all 12mm but my socket set required me to use an adapter and my 12mm socket making the whole tool too wide. So I went to autozone to get a 12mm socket head that would fit on a 3/8th drive. Did that and STILL too wide, at this point i was halfway through the head light dis assembly so I sent Keeley to get me a wrench but the ass hole as autozone upsold her am angle socket so I had to go there for a third trip to return everything and get the god dam 12mm wrench. After that it came off with little difficulty.
Pics of the teardown coming in the next post
