RE: Changing out wheels and tires this week
id change the pads if I were you when doing the tires/rims/rotors
inspect them for broken retaining springs or such as well.. fluid levels
Just follow the service guide when changing the tires/rims and you should be fine
Don't need to loosen the axle adjuster bolts.. leave em where they are if they correct
If u haven't had the rear axle out before.. sometimes they can be stuck in there pretty good..
the factory doesn't use enough anti-seize lube on it..
make sure when putting it back in, that you coat it well...
Make sure you use a calibrated torque wretch and follow the recommended settings
then make sure you take it easy on the new pads/tires for the first 150miles..

RE: Changing out wheels and tires this week
Thanks. I got 60spoke wheels from black bike. Powdercoated black rim and hub with chrome spokes. 21" front 16" in the rear with whitewalls.It has taken them nearly a month to ship them. Should be here by friday. Was gonna go 18 in the rear but I wanted to show more whitewall. I will post up some pics when I get them on.

RE: Changing out wheels and tires this week
The biggest snag I hit doing mine was the spacing. Got the front wheel bolted back up and the brake was dragging. Picked up a couple of wheel shims at the dealer and jacked around with them til I got it right. Bolted up the rear and the sprocket draggedon the swingarm. Took it apart took it to a machinist and had .250milledoff the the mounting area and it fit. Use new bolts for the sprocket and brake rotors. I've heard of them breaking after being used a second time.
