Did you true your wheels yourself when you re-laced them? I picked up a kz with chrome spoke wheels and they look nasty and possibly unsafe. I started to look into relacing myself and then giving them to a bike shop to true. Used Mag's off eBay seem to be the better option though...Weasel said:Got the new front wheel bearings in and the rest of the bits on to complete the front wheel. Going cross eyed polishing all these bolts. Looking forward to getting the front end all together once I get the rest of the fork o-rings & tires.

Had quite a few stubborn bolts but nothing a little heat can't fix.
Was surprised to find the rear motor mount bolt bent...
And the mystery was solved quickly, there was no bolt in the front motor mount. In fact, there were several motor mount bolts missing. And this thing had been ridden that way, the front chain sprocket cover was loaded with grease & road grime. Scary the things POs can do to bikes. I'm pretty sure that "extra" motor I got was the original.
Weasel said:Santa brought some much needed bits. Got a fork damper valve set to upgrade the suspension. Waiting on a few o-rings & oil seal stoppers then I can get the forks reassembled. I'll be putting new bearings in the front wheel and getting that completely reassembled and ready today. Swing arm is assembled and back on the frame. Not happy about winter being here but it's nice to have time to get back to my winter project LOL.
