"The Basketcase" Episode I : A Slow-motion Build

I had yesterday off (Columbus Day - Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends!), so I was able to sneak off to the shop for some motorcycle time whilst out running around...

I was able to retrieve the top hat spacer from the LR bearing (thanks for the reminder, gggGary). You can see how I croggled the spacer spacers, hammering the bearings out with my 'curved punch' (I straightened them best I could with a pair of pliers). I did manage not to damage the speedo parts.:D

I also scrubbed the inside of the rims, with the same kind of wheel 5twins uses. I consider it a good pre-cleaning, before they get soda-blasted, filed (to fix the 'dings' I put in the front rim with tire-irons while I was trying to remove the tire), sanded, polished, and waxed. :cool: More to come...
