I’m 6’2”, the next owner can put them under if they want. Also the tank is so f-ing wide on this bike having them up top is giving me a little more clearance between the bars and tank.Originally posted by salty_monk View PostTrue "Cafe" would have those clip-ons under the top triple no?Comment

filedata/fetch?id=1693250&d=1650807080&type=thumb Been busy this spring with house projects but did manage to make some progress on the 850. Rear frame is done, painted and the tail light has been mounted with some “neat” wiring. Cut off the passenger pegs since it’s only a single rider bike it really cleans up the shaft side of the bike.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

WHile rear wheel is off: Learn about the hub in the rear wheel (called Joint Assembly on microfische).Originally posted by MapleK View Post
THe splines on the hub IN the rear wheel can wear.
If you are not familiar with the wear pattern, you can look at the hub while the hub is in the wheel and it will look okay, but cant really see the wear while the hub is in the wheel.
Plenty of post about it.
and/or see page 12 of this

Thank you for that info! I was honestly shocked when I took the back wheel off and the splines looked good and even more shocking, the wheel bearings look and feel ok. Lucked out on that one.Originally posted by Redman View Post

0887FC8E-6C90-4BAF-9F4B-970BF2C716C4.jpgGot the rear wheel painted and swingarm freshened up. Waiting on my new tire to show up so I can put the rear end back completely. Here’s a little mock-up shot. Ended up going with a Shinko tourmaster for the back tire. I have one on my gl1100 and like it. It has a cool tread pattern too for a more modern tire.Comment
