Thanks for the kind words. The engine looks so good because I cleaned, files, and sanded out the rough spots before painting it with Duplicolor Silver. To get a more anodized aluminim shade, just cover the silver with clear coat.

I have yet to deal with the handle bar switches. L/H should mean low / high for the head lights but on most bikes this is on the right side switch. The other switch should be L/R for the turn signals.

Get in gear and get started on your bike!

Just some before pictures of the components of the rear wheel.

I think the PO loved black paint, he painted the front and rear wheel hubs and bits with a heavy black paint.

Did you ever find a vendor for the choke plate? I have the same problem, except mine was missing.

Not yet and my inquires for the part come back with "I'll sell you and old carb for $ 60.00 +".

I suspect I'll just purchase a new one from one of the Ebay suppliers. At least I will not need to rebuild it.

Removing the spokes on the rear wheel.

As you can see, the rim is in very bad shape and so are the spokes.

hoodellyhoo · « **Reply #83 on:** October 20, 2009, 08:04:27 PM »

Planning on new rims?

tomkimberly · « **Reply #84 on:** October 20, 2009, 08:07:20 PM »

One broken spoke.

The wheel with all the spoke nipples removed.

tomkimberly · « **Reply #85 on:** October 20, 2009, 08:10:30 PM »

Complete dis-assembly.

tomkimberly · « **Reply #86 on:** October 20, 2009, 08:12:44 PM »

Spokes and nipples.

tomkimberly · « **Reply #87 on:** October 20, 2009, 08:17:04 PM »

And the center hub. I'm going to go to Harbor Freight tomorrow to purchase a blind bearing removal tool kit.

BTW, the new bearings will be sealed ones.

Yes, my local Honda dealer has already quoted me a very good price for both rims and spokes.

You would be better off getting stainless spokes.

Here is the refinished rear hub. Removing the bearings was not as easy as I was lead to believe however they did come out. I think my problem was I had removed the rear hub from the wheel and lost all my leverage. On the front wheel I will remove the bearings before I dis-assemble the wheel.

I installed the brake shoes onto the rear hub. The last picture is my favorite brake lube, it does not run and you only need to use a very small amount.

This also a very good lube for speedometer gears in the front wheel as it stays where you put it.

While I wait for spokes and rims, time to start on the front wheel.

BTW, I was correct, it is much easier to remove the wheel bearings while the wheel is completly assembled.

Here is the front brake plate.

And speedometer gear.

An inside look.

tomkimberly · « **Reply #95 on:** October 22, 2009, 08:22:09 PM »

Look at these massive brake shoes!

tomkimberly · « **Reply #96 on:** October 22, 2009, 08:25:19 PM »

Front brake plate all cleaned up prior to paint.

The other bits and pieces, seal, spacer, speedometer gear all cleaned up.

Tom

tomkimberly · « **Reply #97 on:** October 22, 2009, 08:31:44 PM »

Just a comparison picture so you can see how small the front brake really is.

I don't know if anyone noticed but the PO used the wrong type of grease (black wheel bearing type) to lube the speedometer gear assembly. When it get hot, is will flow and might contaminate the brake shoes!

Tom

tomkimberly · « **Reply #98 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:27:39 AM »

Time to remove the spokes and nipples on the front wheel to get to the brake hub.

Tom

tomkimberly · « **Reply #99 on:** October 23, 2009, 05:30:34 AM »

Remember my earlier post about the PO using wheel bearing grease to lube the speedometer gear. Look inside the front brake hub at all that black goo!
