Time Stamp 11-25-10 Thanksgiving.
The bike is 1/2 torn down.
So far the unsalvagable items are: handlebars, fuel petcock, all control cables, speedo, side covers, right muffler. The gas tank is sound. I am soaking it in a solution that will not attack the metal, only the iron oxide (rust) (This solution is not available to the public)
I am expecting some front end damage as the front wheel is out of alignment. I have collected many of the parts needed to replace the unsalvagable parts. I may make an adapter for the fuel petcock so I can install a new upgraded one. The tank is so nice I hate to modify it.
