Topic: (Dirty Rat Bastard) hub question???

[75cb550 (kyle)]

you can also see the new turn signals i had to go to ... they're probably little more noticeable too..   point is, they work

elbow grease, steel wool and CLR, followed by turtle wax rubbing and polishing compound and neverdull = GOOD ENOUGH

me sweating away in my cramped garage

okay, the wheel from Maasey did have the 34 tooth sprocket. the tire looks good enough to ride for now... decision time. do i wait for a chain and use the 34 or swap it over and do the chain/sprocket change later... ill ponder on this during the hot hours

[75cb550 (kyle)]

been riding alot.

ordered the chain the other day... working out a deal on a front sprocket with bradj and will be ordering the rear
next week.

am going to try and work on the seat in the next couple weeks. anyone know how thick the pan needs to be? my dad had an old Torino hood but it's too thin.

sprocket came in today. got started with that whole swap. regretfully i will not be riding to work tomorrow...

apparently my camera was paying attention to the spacer




looks like plenty of meat left on the shoes


not sure what that is


a side-by-side




any idea of the finished product

question: are the 500 and 550 rear hubs compatible? the 500 wheel seems to be missing a spacer or something. there is about a 1/8" or so gap... looking at my original hub. will have to get that all figured out this weekend

also going to try and pick up the materials for my new seat pan...

[75cb550 (kyle)]

got the chain/rear wheel swap done last night.

had to pull the goldwing out... only room to work on one bike at a time in there.


i cant neglect my sponsors..
