Clueless w/ CB200

[LL]

Hello. I decided to start a 74 CB200 cafe project over the winter despite not knowing how to ride or any experience with working on engines, etc. You can't tell in the pics, but its pretty rusty and needs a lot of clean up. I'm trying to get it disassembled by the weekend so I can get the frame painted in the garage - it's supposed to be above 60 here in Chicago.

When I picked it up:

Cool, I'm in Logan Square. Do you go to any of the Halffast stuff? I've never been to any of their meet ups but I checked out their site. I'm only a few blocks from the Orbit Room so maybe if I get this thing done by the spring I can sneak out there. Depending on how things go, I might end up pushing it down the sidewalk

I got everything disassembled last night (motor out of the frame, etc), so hopefully I can get the frame and arm cleaned up and painted this weekend so I can spend the next few months polishing chrome and figuring out how all this stuff goes back together.
