Got new rubber for the rear too


Was gonna say, looks like one too many burnouts on that current tire. Also, post six, pic two, what does that tire in the top left go on?

Slowly but surely, it will get there.

New rubber is on the rear wheel, and I might say, it's so nice to see what tread actually looks like

Parts is another story.

Got royally screwed by by some a-hole who promised a quick good job, and reality it was a rudy goldberg job at best.

So now I have the wheel and swingarm at a friends place getting it all chemically stripped down and done the right way!

Should have it all back by the weekend, if not early next week. No rush, just want it done right.

As soon as I get it all back, it will be put back together in a few hours as long as I can figure out the right spacer issue. Worse case scenario, take measurements, and bring to work to mill down to spec.

whew... I need a brew

Not yet, deciding on converting it over to a 1 cable throttle first, then go from there. Also have to wait a bit. Right now I am working 2nd shift, so I'm not there when UPS shows up, so when I get back on 1st shift around the 2nd week of April, then it's full steam ahead with ordering
This way the old lady don't see squat! LOL
