Hello, new here also and building my special. How's the engine, looks in good fettle and clean. Did it run when you had it?. Are you planing on having rear mudguard?, if so I would retain your one and cut down to suit, keep road debris off your back. As with most will state, take many pics of strip down and keep everything labelled, you may need some parts etc from the stripped stuff. Looks like a good starting project, but be warned it can be very expensive and sometimes you will become overloaded with ideas and downbeat when things don't fit etc. Keep at it but don't rush it, ps these bikes are heavy, especially the engine have someone to help when your taking the engine out. Good luck
