CB550 refurb
Laverdaroo:
Go look at Allan Millard’s wheel building video on his you tube, it’s on his Z900 build. Rather than lacing them vertically he does them flat in the vice on the bikes rear spindle. I copied him and found it much easier and you don’t need any special kit etc……. Worth a look, helped me immensely and I’ve done 4 sets now. I had em checked at a vintage bike shop in Chard and he said he couldn’t have done them any better so well chuffed!
Worth a look Johnny

Interesting Roo to see how the great Millyard does his wheels. I’m actually quite happy with the building process but can definitely take a tip or two there. Previous wheels I have done I have just buffed the hubs with a scotchbrite mop to leave a nice satin shine but just wondered if there’s anything to be gained by applying lacquer?
Laverdaroo:
Only the fact that if it chips or comes away, you’ll have to do some cunning masking to redo it if the wheels built. I part polished mine, that Kanuba wax is easier to apply than lacquer was my thought train when doing that job.

I not did it his way as it required no special tools or set up and could do it with what I had in the shed. It turned out to be super simple
