It's a 1973 CB500.
I need some tips for tearing a bike down to the frame, cleaning / painting everything and putting it back together. In my head it seems like a big job and I've never done it before.
Off the top of my head I can think to:
Take pictures of everything
Label everything
Take my time but don't drag it out so long I forget what everything is
Any must have special tools? Any gotchas? Any portions of reassembly not as simple as bolting back together?
