2008 October 07: Pistons and cleaning (1.00 hours)

• Removed the pistons from the connecting rods and the rings from the pistons. You'll recall I discovered the pistons were not identical after I initially installed them (one used a longer wrist pin than the other).
• Spent some time with a wire wheel removing some of the black paint from the triple trees and rear brake caliper mount. I plan to leave those aluminum bits unpainted.
