Since it's gonna be stoopid cold for a couple of days (-4F tonight), I thought I'd do some frame disassembly in the kitchen.
The upper shock mounts I left on for now because it looks like I need to use penetrant on the bolts/nuts. Left the ignition switch in too. Everything else is gone. The only really hard part was getting the center stand out. The shaft was rusted to both the holes in the frame (not too bad), and the stand's tube (bad). So lots of pounding, squirting penetrant, more pounding, for about 45 minutes. The swingarm bolt and the lower engine mount bolt were corroded but not rusted.
Anyway, it's ready for some more cleaning, preparatory to some TLC on the frame itself.
