All plastics off, tank & seat (store somewhere safe, indoors in boxes or hung from on top of the garage rafters to stop you treading on them/kicking them across the floor/swearing) carbs and exhaust, wiring unplugged (take photos, you may remember where everything goes now but 3 months later it will all be a mass of strange parts & bolts ;)), engine out, all other widgets, clocks (take photos), fairing frame(take photos), hang the bike frame from the garage rafters via a ratchet strap & remove the wheels, forks and swingarm.
ANYTHING that looks even slightly strange of complicated - (take photos) ;) Lots of them.

yup photos are being taken of everything the garage has no rafters so gotta create something
