Wheel is laced. Offset, radial, and axial runout set. Provisionally, anyway. Still need to check/set final nipple torque. That's gonna wait a few days tho. I ordered a nipple torque wrench because my cobbled one from last time was stupid awkward.

But yes to the coffee table... It's my most used piece of furniture. I eat dinner there, I assemble parts there, I use my laptop there... Sometimes I fall asleep sitting in front of it (usually with a Star Trek rerun on the TV)...
And the garage. I'm seriously considering doubling it's size.

Got the truing finished (~.015 TIR), balanced (1.5 grams), tire installed, and mounted up to front end today. Still using the original axle for now. I want to confirm my fork tube length on the bike before I block off the 12mm lock screw with the axle cap. I also still want to remove the relfectors and polish/wax the lowers.
Hopefully I'll have the last of my brake line parts next week and hopefully they fit like I intend.
Calipers slip right in between the rim and rotor (after the axle is installed. tire and rim won't fit between them while attached to sliders. Thankfully, no crazy order of operation business there like I have on the rear. Might be too close to fit caliper over the rotor with a 16x4.5 rim. That's how my rear is. Have to install the caliper and rotor on the hub, together, as a unit.

On the rear calliper thing I noticed when my rear was off the bike that the rear calliper (OEM Fatboy) had quite a bit of meat taken off the inside of the calliper to allow it to fit between the disk and rim.
I don't remember the rear calliper on my old street bob being the same. Perhaps OEM fatty callipers are a different......Or my memory is clouded. The later is highly likely.

Looking really good.
