Alright, time to tear down this front end. Those last two bits of orange have got to go, and that nasty front wheel needs a good cleaning. I started by removing the wheel. Followed by the handle bars and hand control wiring. Gauges came off next followed by the headlight assembly. Sadly the headlight bucket is plastic and pretty rotten. It's beyond repair and I will need to get a new one. It should be fun to try to get this rats nest of wires shoved into a new bucket. Finally I got the forks to slide right on out leaving the orange headlight ears to be removed. Easy as that! I see sanding and polishing in my future as I plan to make these headlight ears match the tank and other bare metal parts. I will also refinish the handle bar mounts to bare metal and will get that nice chrome shorty front fender sparkling.
