Brakes and tires!

 

G'day Fellas.
Well there was one more fluid. Today I did the fork oil with Penrite ATF. I then noticed the horn was loose so re-modeled the bracket. Ran a spanner over all the bolts and was pleased. More grubby fingerprints to clean.
Cheers

 

Got the first ride of 2023.................short but SWEET....................

 

Took the cover off, checked tire pressure, made sure all lights work, said a short prayer hoping it would start after sitting all winter, then went for a 25 mile ride. So happy to be riding again!

 

Decided to go another way on my exhaust...So, if anyone wants a set of Samson True Duals (07-11) I've listed them on the forum market. They are new in the box!

 

For some reason I'm not surprised, well at least you stuck with blue.

 

Wondered out to a semi-local watering hole to help shake the winter cobwebs off.

 

Back from getting Cermaic Coated. Now it's a season of ride, wash, repeat

 

All I did was put more miles on my Softail Slim S. It's never been washed and it looks more like a 1942 WLA every day hahahaha.

Went over Snolqualmie Pass a couple of days ago on a trip from Seattle to Stites, Idaho. Hit some snow. Hoping it's not bad on the way back West.

 

Replaced the spokes with a Centerline polished aluminum wheel. Need a change and no tube. Next is the rear wheel and chrome lowers.
I ordered a cast aluminum wheel for the rear but was for a pre 2000 softail with a 2" rotor hole. The ebay ad did not give specifics until I questioned "it fits all softails" I have the rings and have to find some one to machine a relief for the rings so the rotor aligns correctly or get a new rotor if it not obsolete or get a new wheel.

Any suggestions on how to buff and protect the polished aluminum wheel?
