The last few weeks have been disassembly and cleaning. I removed the exhaust, heater boxes and the engine tins. The exhaust is solid, but needs paint. The heater boxes are very rusty, so I think they will be replaced. The engine and the engine tins are lousy with oil/roadgrime, so some heavy cleaning and repainting is necessary. There was as much as an inch of grime collected on some of the tins.
You can see where the oil has collected on the cylinder heat syncs. Im thinking it was blown there by the cooling fan.
