not perfect............but done
« on: March 31, 2014, 08:54:33 AM »
Baby hasnt looked this good since i bought her almost 10 years ago.  4 motors, 2 clutches, 3rd set of wheels, 3rd set forks and like 5th set handlebars.
still no flames, havent figured that all out yet, looking at some vinyl decals.  not clear coated yet, thats rustoleum  machinery paint.  fuel resistant by itself.
im done for now, gonna ride the wheels off her again

Yes, 100% Lesters need tubes. This is right off my paperwork that I got when I bought my Lesters in 1977. Dan

Lesters can be run tubes or tubeless. Those wheels in the pics are NOT Lesters

bead area of the rim is not designed for positive retention of the tire in a sudden air loss situation.  Please run some inner tubes and help preserve your beautiful wheels ...and your beautiful you
