rusty yamaha virago 535 re-build part 10, stripping the front end

rear end is looking ok, so moving on to the front end now, figured this would be the best thing to do as then we will have it on its wheels and that should make it a lot easier for everything else. Removing the lights, clocks, bars forks headstock.....well pretty much everything from the front end, and then we can access it all and see what we can do to smarten it up a little. I think we should have everything we need to do this, although may have to get another can of paint, will find out as we go i guess...see you soon......

Great progress so far. Good luck with those forks... 😬

Hey there Pete my old mate, ok first of all I've liked all you're videos, I know you tubers like a thumbs up 🤣 now "what on earth possessed you to pick up a virago" 🤷‍♂️ you must've been bored 😂 and now you're a dj as well with all this music 🔥 "and breath" but seriously as all the comments before me have said, you're doing a great job and we all enjoy watching you on these (little) projects ! Come on I can't believe your not going to shine up those engine casings , admit it the budgets blown 🤣 all the best mate, onto the next update 👊

hello mate, hope all is well, to be honest, Its only a virago because it fell in my lap, I wasn't looking for another bike project. Tell you what though, I think I've grown to love the thing after spending so much time with it, cant wait to have a spin on it.........talk about mid life crisis easy rider......and the music....there has to be so much fast forward video with this one it needs something......gonna try some disco at some point, then we'll move onto jazz, the choices are endless......roll on....nearly done the next bit.......and i'm still on budget.

Do you have any suggestions on how to remove the voltage regulator, on my 535 it’s mounted on the back of the engine
