New tire day.

[Randy B]

Wow Randy almost 15,000 incredible! Rear footpeg brackets look good in black. No visible rust under fender. You are living right my man

I finally decided that it was time to retire the original rear tire. I probably could have gone further on it, but I'm not one to push my tires to totally bald any more, and NEVER on a motorcycle.






And the new one.



I also made another modification while I had the rear wheel off.













And while I was at it I checked for the rusting that others have complained about under the rear fender.



Looks good to me.

This was my day, and I didn't get to go riding because I had other household chores that were begging for my attention....like swapping out the front door knob and deadbolt.....ugh. I killed 3 screwdrivers, a pair of vise grips (to turn the screwdrivers) and tore up both of my hands, but I got it done.

Tomorrow maybe.

Thanks man. Like I said, Ir probably could have gotten more out of it, but i was at the wear indicators and I can't bring myself to go pasted them.

I like em!! They look better then I even thought they would. I took a bit of time because of the way the rear master cylinder is mounted and the brake pedal is held in place with an snap ring and, of course, I didn't have a snap ring tool so I had to run to the store and get some tools (also bought a metric alan socket set) and all was right with the world.
