The last three days have been very productive on the bike. I finally finished up the lift table, and it has proved extremely valuable. My back definitely appreciates the table. Fenders, footpegs, complete wiring harness, lights, and levers have all been removed. It's almost like a puzzle--you have to pull off the three or four parts just to get one part off. I managed to take numerous photos that should be very helpful when the assembly begins.
A few of the parts were blasted today. It's amazing how many years of rust and paint can be removed in just a short time. All of the blasted parts will most likely be powder coated when the frame is ready. I lined up the powder today, and it looks like it will be a smooth process.
The main concern from today is the rewiring. Everything on this bike runs through the headlight tub. When the bike was produced, Triumph did a good job of enabling the wires to disconnect; but it doesn't change the fact that they all have to go back together--properly.
