Rear End Progress

Rear wheel with new tire is on. That's kind of a pain the first time, like everything. It's starting to look like a motorcycle again, though.

Before installing it, I cleaned up the rear brake some and greased the cam that pushes out the shoes. They tell you to loosen the final drive bolts before installing the wheel, but not before taking it off. I thought that was weird until my new tire wouldn't fit without loosening those so the unit would move a little bit. I also had to loosen the rear fender and pull it up some. I'm guessing at all the torques on the bike, so hopefully it doesn't fall apart at 80 mph.

At some point, I need to get a torque wrench.

I still need to fix the cut wires and fill and pressurize the forks. I don't know if they have fluid or air pressure.

Sam is about to bleed and is making it hard to focus, so that's all for now.
