I have mate. I need to get pics, I have the camera here and just need to get pics of it.
So far, I have defeated the locks without damage. Tank and saddle off. All fairing off exhaust headers removed, front frame removed oil cooler removed airbox/battery box removed all the oil drained out (when I say oil, read yoghurt) All the plugs out, 2 and 3 ok, 1 and 4 mayod up badly and number 4 snapped off in the head Its ready to come out, has been for days. All thats left to do, remove the chain guard and get the chain off, remove the control cables and wiring. Then I can drop it out and pull it apart. If the weathers decent after work tomorrow I will get pics and crack on with it.
