Dismantling starts

A little bit of work has been done this afternoon, just around dismantling the instruments, handlebars and headlight assembly. At this stage I can't find a great deal of actual broken things which will need replacing, although I can see a lot of sanding and painting coming up.

One thing I'll need to check out is the tacho, since it's displaying 1000RPM all the time. Probably the hairspring tension inside the instrument itself, but I'm really not too sure at the moment.
Wiring all seems to be in good order, even if a lot of terminals were corroded. But then just about everything on it is rusted. I've never loved my can of WD-40 so much.
Catch you next update.

Cheers.
