Tires mounted

Dent banged right out.

There were a bunch of small dents like this before pic

And after a little work.

The outer ones still sit a little high but not to bad. The og ones sat a bit high in the same spots

Og on the right. You can see the longer threads.

Gives room to tighten further.

After spending a few hours yeasterday getting the rims true I got the Dunlop k70’s mounted. I think they look really good.

I also spent some time today banging dents out of the fenders. The tip of the front fender was bent down on one side quite a bit. A little persuasion with the rubber mallet and sheet metal pliers and it’s back in shape. The rear fender is going to need a bit more work. It has a few dents and the hinge is off. I’m hoping I can bend it back but I may have to remove the rivets straighten everything and rivet it all back together.

Also I wanted to post another picture of the front hub. It was pointed out that the spokes were not sitting flush in my wheel truing pictures. Those pics were taken before I trued and set the offset of the hub. The spokes were only finger tight at that point also. Once up to tension they sat much better. Still not quite perfect but not to much different then the originals. Even they sat I little high every other. A few differences between the original spokes and reproduction ones. The very first bend i a little longer on the reproductions. This is what is causing them to sit a tad higher then the og. Also the originals had longer threads so there was more room for tightening though I didn’t need any extra threads with these wheels. All in all I am happy with these new spokes. I think they look amazing.
