Default some updates

new sprocket cover sent to me by GazzaTheBastard. looks great! and yes i did whack my cam cover with a hammer to make clearance. and i finally have rear brakes again!





also painted my tire letters. i found a quart of some kind of latex paint it said for use on rubber and it was white so i thought why not. its all dry and looks solid, time will tell if it yellows or cracks off.










EDIT, i also simple-greened the hell out of my front rim, can you tell how much cleaner it is? soon im taking it off to paint it black and keep the edges polished, and then the same to the rear tire.

did anyone see my aircleaner yet?





oh hey i was cleaning my back rim and i stopped when i found this!



this must be why i need new wheel bearings every year

Looks great. I like the cover and the lettering came out great as well. Looks perfect on your bike. Let us know how well it holds up.
