  You might already know this but it's something I learned the hard way a bunch of times...

  Take the time to do the following if you can:
  Clean the heck out of the bike BEFORE you start tearing it down
  Take pics of every step of tear-down
  Try not to 'cut' any of the wiring off (most expensive to replace)
  Get your fuel tank completely clean and free of rust and laquer
  Get your carb rebuilt (or do it yourself) as soon as possible

  Talk to your bike when you get it home, explain your intentions, it will understand...
  Find old-timers to help you out!

  Best of luck! Cliche I know but... '4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels move the soul!'
