I am starting the mock-up. I know the bike took a spill that was bad enough to bend the handlebars and dent the fenders but I need to make sure the frame, fork and wheels line up nice and straight before I can worry about the fenders. So today I installed the brakes, front fork and wheels on the frame to check out the alignment.
I wasn’t happy with my home made washer for the front hub/brake plate matting so I ordered one from Granger. They stocked a thrust washer that was almost exactly what I needed. I only needed to open up the inner diameter by about a thousandth of an inch. Took all of 30 seconds with the dremal.
Wile I was getting everything together UPS showed up with new rubber! A pair of Dunlop k70’s. Can’t wait to get them mounted.
Got everything together and it all ligned up great. Next will be to get the fenders back on to see what needs to be done there. They are both bent a bit but that is for another day.
