Starting the breakdown

First the cosmetics
  • Removed dried out Saddle bags, found missing side cover "750" emblem inside.
  • Removed custom sissy bar which has re3d bullet turn signals mounted, will save the lights in case I need some until redone.
  • Removed front custom highway pegs. This was a twisted bar with folded up foot pegs on the end, connected to the front frame.
  • Removed the custom "gun fighter" chopper seat, removed hardware which is needed for a new seat. Saved all hardware.
Tank
  • Removed the tank, the tank did have gas in it, but the inside after drained looked pretty good. Petcock looked a bit sticky, will need to rebuold or drain the screen.
  • The tank tube were not connected when I removed the tank.
  • The rubber molding holding the back of the tank, ribber was stiff and tearing.
Side Covers
  • Removed left and right side side covers, rubber grommets holding them on were all present, and seemed in fair conidtion.

  • Had to unscrew the bans holding each carb output to holes.
  • Airfilter looked dirty but might be ok for a little while if blown out.

Carbs
  • Tried to remove carb package, first needed to remove throttle cables
  • Throttle has a pull and push throttle cable. The cables were already un connected from throttle plate.
  • I reconnected to see if throttle worked. Carb slides seemed stuck, I sprayed carb cleaner which helped a little bit, but carbs seem stuck.
  • I decided to go ahead and unhook throttle cables from grip.
  • Dis-assembled right side switch housing, and un-released cable.
  • Top cable labled and removed.
  • Lower cable stuck on for now.
  • Removed left throttel grip, stored in box.
Mufflers (RIGHT SIDE ONLY)
  • Removed short exhaust/mufflers from right side.
  • Wingnuts are easy to remove, but rusty and need to be cleaned.
  • Right side muffler lower unit (exhaust #3), left hardware with muffler.
  • Right side muffler upper unit (exhaust #4), hardware is on bike, connects on foot peg bolt.
  • NOTE had to remove brake pedal, with siwtch spring to remove muffler.
