Good work Greg, those are pretty

[Hoosier Daddy]

Agreed, those carbies turned out really well, and those forks look AWESOME!

Got this in the mail from Boulevard Suzuki.Great prices and very resonable shipping to Canada.

A few nice OEM goodies thanks to a benefactor who shall remain anonymous unless he steps forward.

Great looking carbs!
show the work you put in them!

[pete]

Greg those carbs look great! And you gotta love opening a box and finding those red labels inside don't ya'?

I also say good prices and shipping to Aus from Boulevard as well...

Sanded the rims prior to polishing.Yeah I restripped them to.Did the first step in the polish(sisal and black bar).Had to stop as my arms are tried
Yes Pete they are pretty good,using them again me thinks.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Thats a whole lot of "Keeping Busy" in that box right there!
... and I bet your hands WERE tired after the first go of polishing the rims. That is a major chunk of aluminum to manuver around.
Devotion for sure!

Glad they sorted you out Greg

My back ordered fuel tap should be just about here, ended up being only about a week behind the rest of the order, and I didn't have to pay extra shipping either, they said not your fault we'll send it later.

Pretty cool

Oh, and I wire wheeled my rims... started sanding and said bugger this after about 15 minutes of pain... but then again I was painting them all black except the lip too...

What lowers are these? I'm interested in a pair. Gonna be going dual calipers and I have no access to aluminum welding.

Here are the forks all assembled.

[SVSooke]

They are the lower legs that Rustybronco mentioned in post#11.A set off a 78 E.

[rustybronco]

And I still have a spare set...

And I still have a spare set...

Looking to sell?

Did the polishing,to bad it's covered in dirty fingerprints from the engineer at work.Manged to get the old bearings out.I could not get a good whack at them with the spacer in the way.Did the freeze and heat trick with the new bearings.Worked great on the first bearing,popped right down.Other side needed a little persuasion but went down OK.Did forget to put the spacer back.Should be OK without it?

[Flyboy]

Did forget to put the spacer back.Should be OK without it?

Greg, you are not talking about the steel tube spacer that lives inside the rim between the two bearings are you???
Because if you are......uuuuuuummmmm.......No, you won't be alright at all, sorry man, a bearing will have to come out, but the spacer has to be there.
Otherwise your bearings will collapse from exessive side loads after only 3 miles, and the wheel will lock up and you will fall down and you will most certainly be killed.

Seriously, it prevents side loads on the bearings, the outer spacers on the axle push up against the inner race of the bearing, so as you tighten your axle nut, without the inner spacer, you are pulling the two inner races towards each other, with nothing for them to seat against.
