forks are back...



And the bike is on stands.  Front wheel is now centered in the forks, and the caliper is centered on the rotor.  Should be nice to have it brake properly, and of course the new pads help.  I've brought the wheel inside to protect the integrity of the new tires.  -35 degree (celcius) weather is not nice on grippy rubber.

Here's the tail.  Not spaced properly yet, but it gives an idea of the color, as well has how much better this coat of clear went on.  Again, some youtube research has paid off.

I ground the key mount off the triple clamp, and then removed the anodizing.  Again, not a perfect, polished look, but that wasn't what I was going for.


Considering putting some race numbers on the back, and then clearing over it again.  Wet sand first, of course.  Silver numbers with a blue outline.  Need to think on it a bit more...
