It is a very wet day today, and dark in the cave.
Anyway, I totally stripped down the 750 to a bare frame as the plan has changed and it is now to have a proper paint job. So, engine out, all brackets, boxes and stuff removed, bearings knocked out, swing arm and centrestand off and then I drilled out the steering lock as there was no key for it. There is also a small pile of parts for plating (engine bolts etc).

Once the painted parts were loaded into the van I wheeled out the Atlas as I had new fork gaiter to fit.
In order to remove the forks I had to remove the front indicators, fairing, and engine guard. Then I propped up the frame with 2 axle stands and removed the front wheel. The forks slid out of the yokes and I slipped the gaiters over the forks and then reassembled the whole thing. It was hard and dirty work so not many photos were taken.
Anyway, I think the bike looks really pretty now.
