Coast to Coast
Thanks for the tips! The closest dealer to the cabin is a bit of a hike, and since I may have the opportunity to use a 100cc Honda flywheel puller again (wink wink nudge nudge), yesterday I ordered one from Dan at Re-MX. It'll arrive tomorrow. I might not get back to this project right away, though, as I have some non-motorcycle travel to visit family coming up.
One more question on the rotor- are the threads on the bolt that holds it to end of the shaft left-handed?
There are also a couple longer signal stems coming in the mail so I can de-rotate my license plate. The vertical orientation has grown on me, but it's illegal in Pennsylvania, and probably doubly so on a bike registered as antique. Who knows, in Pennsylvania the zip ties holding it in place may even be illegal (like, wrong color). Now that the panniers have been mounted for a few hundred miles and several bottoming-outs without any sign of trouble, it seems safe to put finishing touches on them. I still haven't decided on tie-down points, but the other day I took the bike on a meandering trek to my mom and dad's house and used my dad's belt sander to clean up the crude radii on the stays I'd made with a sawzall and angle grinder, and also installed the locking hw with the help of his drill press. Here are a few photos from the trip.
