After another week away it was back at it this weekend. Most everything revolved around getting ready for a rolling chassis. Forks were rebuilt with new tubes, seals, caps, dust caps, and springs. Wheels got clear coated over the VHT Universal Aluminum with new bearings and seals, Honda spokes, DID Rims, new tubes and fresh Metzlers. If I can sneak out of work a little this week,
a few other items may get prepped and a rolling chassis could be on the stand after next weekend. That would great to have that, and then some, done by Christmas. The Holidays really slow things down with all the parties and such, and I ain't exactly one to shy away from the holiday spirit and Egg Nog.
Getting set to build a wheel.

Wheels and forks ready to go.
Manchester Honda got in a boat load of KTM stuff for Christmas so the Wife and I stopped by on Saturday to do some Christmas shopping. I got this apron, (pretty good deal I thought for $15 and change) and now don't know how I ever worked without one. If I had this thing years ago I might not have drawers and drawers filled with greasy dirty sweat shirts. I like the pockets too.
