Guess I'm done for now. I don't think I'm going to fire it up this year. Brakes are dry, and so is tank. I really want to fire it up and fine tune it, but it's October already.
Put a new rear Dunlop on. The first Continental was just to big I thought. I also had a hard time getting the rear spacers right to allow the disc brake not to bind and the wheel to spin freely once I tightened it. I needed the aluminum wheels to do the eventual goose bike. It would have certainly been easier to get a new rim and respoke the wheel.
Also the stock chain guard rubs on the Dunlop 404 tire. I wanted to use the stock chain guard. I'll have to modify a chrome chainguard I'm thinking. Any advice or comments always appreciated. It should fire up and run.
