I decided to paint the center part of the rear hub instead of driving myself any further insane trying to polish it.

Looking good. What's the story with that fork brace? Looks nice. Did you get it to fit? Would love to see pics of it mounted up when you get a chance.

The holes in the brace are farther apart than the lugs on the forks. I'll need to make new holes.

I just got my own pair of daystar shock boots yesterday, just like the ones you got. Took a look at them and I think they are going to be way too long. They already look too long, and that's before the forks have been lowered. Just wondering if you found the same problem.

My forks are in pieces, so all I've done is slide one over a fork tube to see how snugly the folds fit in case I want to shorten the boots. There's some play (which you want, now that I think of it, so they'll slide up and down as the forks move) but I think I'll be able to use the zip ties to hold them up in some way. We'll see. I expected them to be long because they were made for dirt bikes.

I just wanted to add my two cents of appreciation for this thread. It has been most informative and well done. You've put a lot of good work in your ride and I'm sure the results will be rewarding!

I made the commitment today to go to an 18" front rim by ordering a tire and tube. Now I just need to do something about the rim. I'll contact Buchanan Spoke & Rim soon.

Id say you made a good call on the rear hub. No easy way to keep it clean with such short spokes.

The rear is going to be an 18-incher too, so at least the spokes would be longer than the stock 15-incher.

Less short, yea, but reaching in to buff & keep a high polish alive would still be quite the hassle. What color will you paint it?

The picture above shows I painted it silver -- same as what I painted the cylinder head.

More signs of neglect. Not only was the brake fluid dark brown, this is what the underside of the master cylinder lid looked like:
Crystalized something or other. Yum.
