New wheel bearings, tire, shock....

[creole]

Took the rear wheel off my 99 Monday to have the tire changed then put on the " new to me " shock from Hart. Thanks to him for making me an awesome deal on a leftover part. As an after thought, decided to have the wheel bearings changed while it was apart (70k miles) so waiting on the local Kawasaki shop to change the tire and put in the bearings for me. Found none of this to be as big a job as anticipated and looking forward to getting it back together.

By the way , I'm sending my old shock to Easy Rider. We'd had a conversation about an attempt at rebuilding one of these. I had intended to do this myself, but have too many projects right now....but will supply a Guinnea pig!!

Put the bike back together last night and it wasn't bad at all, except for that pesky u-joint. Took several stabs but finally got it right. Thanks to Hart for the great deal on the shock and I was pleasantly surprised that the local Kawasaki (don't have Yamaha here) only charged $43.00 to mount / balance (I brought a new tire with me) and install the rear wheel bearings that I ordered.

 

Up next a new Tulsa windshield and fuel sender, and a couple of other minor things and maybe spring will be ready with some nice riding weather!
