We closed the COVID-chapter last week, so let's continue!

First we sprayed a layer of rust protection on the inside of the fenders:

Second, we added some chrome parts to the fenders:

Awesome!

Some bearings from the back wheel are damaged. Probably by ourselves when dismounting these parts. We ordered a couple of new ones:

Episode Eleven........time flies. 

Next week all the engine covers and parts will be mounted. The bike will get new fluids. In total we've invested about $5400 (5100) euro's so far........

Something that came to mind as I watched. The proper procedure to set the rear wheel is to snug, not tighten, the 4 acorn nuts on the pumpkin, then to insert the axle and snug tight, then to tighten the acorns and then to torque the axle. Don't know if you did it this way, just thought I would comment seeing as many guys have no idea.

Yep, we followed the book....... and added some grease (moly).

Greasing the final drive spline is kind of touchy. I've used molly and found it didn't stick very well and soon the spline was dry, and then went with Lucas X-tra heavy duty and it kept the spline wet. Some guys also use a Honda grease and find that works.
