Lacing Wheels
It looks like I have to replace the hub on my rear wheel since the threads are toast and the pulley bolts keep vibrating loose (even with red LocTite and when properly torqued.) I'd rather do the work myself but I've never laced and trued a motorcycle wheel before. have any of you done this? Is it particularly time consuming? What special tools / parts do I need?
Thanks!

RE: Lacing Wheels
you probably be better off getting a bike mechanic to do it . lacing wheel easy. to ture the wheel is timecomsuming and you will need a wheel aligner to do it properly. if you havent done it before your in for a real treat. hope you have alot of patience. probably what you wana do is try it if you cant do then take it somewhere and let them ture up wheel for ya.

Todd,
I wish I could put your wheel on my ride. Those 06 wheels are a lot wider than the 98 wheels were, so they won't fit. Thanks for the offer though.

RE: Lacing Wheels
Cobra,
I think you've got the right idea. I'll give it a shot. If I can't get it right in a reasonable time then I'll just take it down and let a pro do it. I found a good online article on the process: http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/tech/wire_wheel/
I suppose I'll be finding out this weekend just how easy this really is.
