One of my failing, if I get an excuse to take something apart, I will. LoL.

Gave the arm a bit of treatment after looking at it closer. It’s not as bad as it looked at first glance. Now I may have to look at those bearings a bit or it could be some moly grease will hold off whatever was going on.
Back to cleaning the cover. I’ll probably install the clutch disks an torque it down.
It turns out I have Triumph’s recommended grease already! LoL. Molybdenum Disulphide. This one made by Shell, AeroShell 64.
Bought this for another hobby of mine, keeps for ever or long enough.

Good to know! Thanks!
Clutch discs going in. Washer facing “OUT”. Love the way Triumph made sure it is correctly installed. I’ll torque it tomorrow. Had misc other projects today.
I’m not disappointed. That’s what is so great about looking into the mechanicals, you get an idea of it’s real condition not just it’s external appearance.
Torqued to 105Nm.
Took some fiddling, but bearing in place bolts at 9Nm.
Movement about the same as before.
Hopefully today I’ll have some spare time to work on the cover; remove the oxidation and replace the seals and o-ring.
You're moving right along 
First pass. Corrosion removed.
The pictures of the architecture was from Rice University in Houston. It was a two hour walking tour.
That was related your architectural engineering background?
Yes, I need continuing education courses during the year for my professional architectural registration.
Well it’s all together, the sound baffling torqued to 9Nm and the cover bolts torqued to 9Nm. New seals installed and needle bearings greased. Some polishing adjustment to do and final adjustments on the clutch cable. The motorcycle is oiled up and the battery is on the charger. I’ll see about the final adjustment checks and start it after the battery has had some time to charge.
Shift linkage installed as well, bolt 9Nm. Alignment dot had to check my previous pre project photo. I counted the splines and made it match. Probably wouldn’t have made a difference. Now waiting.
