Just a lil update as to where its going guys, nothing pic worthy yet but have got the wheels cleaned up and got my shinko tires mounted and balanced. I did it myself making sure not to pinch the tubes and it went pretty easy then when I tried to air it up stupid tube was leaking so I must have punctured it somehow!
After this screw up I decided not to waste any more tubes so I took them to a local shop that happen to have the tube size that I needed and got them to mount and balance em. Cost me 110 bux! Got the forks pulled completely down and cleaned up was going to go back together with them today but ended up working on installing my All Balls tapered steering bearings. In the instructions it tells you that you may or may not need the included washers in the kit and to stack your old bearings and see if the height is within 1mm of the tapered bearings and that will let you know if you need it or not. Well my old bearings where falling apart. And I tore the bottom race up getting it out so there was no measuring the old bearings so i put it together without the washer. MISTAKE!!!
It pulled the bottom triple up to far and was binding and being that the washer has to be installed before the seal and bottom bearing are pressed onto the shaft I was screwed. I figured I would mess them up getting them off and I did. The seal is ruined and the cage on the bearing is a little bent out of wack. Now I have to order some more before I can put the front end back together.
I was gonna make some real progress this weekend! Guess thats not gonna happen. I may check one of the bearing places around here monday and see if they have anything that will work for me. But on a positive note I got all of my parts and goodies in except for my cafe seat and it should be here next week.
Ready to start getting this dude together!
