New Exhaust arrived and fitted - Lovely job no marks like a new one.

Checked DS for an original rear wheel rim and its only £20.00 more than having the original re chromed
One on order, no 3 month turn around as I found with the front rim took it in in Jan should be ready to collect End of March
(DS didn't have a front rim in at the time)

Coppertop1234:
"Bugger" Ive done it again
Got all the bits to refurbish and fit the new rear wheel
New Stainless spokes from central wheels - New Did Rim from DS - New Bearings from wemoto with retainer - Old Hub Cleaned and polished
All Old bearings out
Made a tool for removing retainer - good job as retainer purchased from wemoto was incorrect size.
Fitted 1 bearing to the hub then the other and that was the mistake forgot to fit the centre spindle -out comes one new bearing to be replaced with another.
New bearing arrived and fitted after the centre spindle this time.
Respoked the old polished hub - cheated and took it to  a local shop for spoke trueing and new tyre fitting


Fitted an Avon Road Rider Tyre



Job Done   - Next the front wheel


Cheers

Hi Dennis

Thanks - Tyre size is 110x90 x18 Tubeless (but I had a tube fitted)

To think about 40 years ago, I took off the original spoked wheels and standard exhaust, to replace them with a set of Lester mags and a short sportier type exhaust. I just gave these away to dealer when i sold the bike, as many of us would have

Now I just want to try and return it to stock where possible

Cheers
