Well i started on the bars tonight spent maybe 4 hours on them just taking my time following the manual pretty closely.
first i started on my throttle and got that all removed but i do have an issue and couldnt seem to see how to remove the throttle cables from the switch casing. In the manual it looks like there are lock washers keeping them attached, i could be wrong but i didnt see them. So i decided to move on and remove all the mirrors and front blinks followed by the brake line and master cylinder.
When i got to the clutch i just removed the lever from the bars so i could remove them. I didnt want to tear into side just yet and thought it would be better to do that when i was reading to attach the new clutch line.

Well im calling it a night for now. Luckily i have the whole day set aside to finsih up.

Any help with the throttle and switch casing issue would be great.

If you're talking about these, they simply pull out. There's a cir-clip you can't see holding them in.
