Tape over the holes on the rim as trying to get the last few spokes in the wheels can be a bit tight if the rotation of the hub is a bit off. Also I chipped a little bit of paint on the hub when the spokes were twisted around and rubbed against the hub.
I assembled the day after picking the wheels up from the powder-coater. I should have waited.
It's only being fussy though, as they are only minor marks and only visible when you look close up.

Posted this in a 1800 thread, but can anyone help identify these carbies??
Trying to work out what carb rebuild kit I need.
Only markings on them is the Keihin logo.
Came off the 72 CB250 (Australian model).
They look really close to the Keihin 3D that came on my American model CL350 (see pic below), but I can't be sure. Do you have dimensions for the openings?
Ok so I'm still having doubts on my what kit I need to order for my carbies?
I found some tiny markings on the carbies. One side says '2D', the other side says 'JD'.
Any help appreciated.
Got the bike assembled today.
Dropped in some new wheel bearings and tapered headset conversion.
Got the head back from the machine shop too.
Should have the engine bolted in soon!
Fuchs, the tyres are Firestone ANS Military. 4.00 front and 4.5 rear. Stock rims laced with thick stainless spokes.
They are definitely over sized for the bike, especially on the front, but I think it's worth it!
I was thinking about a 4" in the front myself (other brand and type) but I was afraid it wouldn't work on a stock 250/350 rim. Good to see it can work! I know it's better to ride a smaller tire but it's for the looks and it's more a show bike then a driver so...
I guess you share the same point of view.
Did you mount them yourself or did you take your rims to a shop?
Fuchs, I took them to the local bike shop. Didn't want to risk scratching the fresh paint mucking around with screwdrivers and soap! For the sake of $20 it's worth it.
Hey mate, do you need to blue slip the bike ? Or is it already registered? I'd be interested to see how you go. I'm tackling the rego bike requirements with mine now.
Nevergrew, I will need to blue slip it.
I'll have to fab up some sort of front fender for it.
Hopefully they aren't too picky with the tires and rear fender.
