Alright guys, I've taken the plunge today.
I've had a pleasant afternoon in the workshop, stripped the 55 w down to a bare frame.
It came apart easily, I spent more time getting the bottom steering head bearing race out than I did taking the bike to bits.
All the red bits are ready to take to the powder coaters.
Now I am stuck- how do you get the suspension linkage out of the swingarm?. I've got the bolt out but there's a bush that seems to be holding it in.

It's About time Brian, I can't remember how I did it, just take it all apart but remember to take photos as you go so you have some idea how it goes back together, I've got those parts Brian, I'll message you later this week

What a prick I am
I just hit it harder with a hammer and out it came!
