Thats a whole lot of "Keeping Busy" in that box right there!
... and I bet your hands WERE tired after the first go of polishing the rims. That is a major chunk of aluminum to manuver around.
Devotion for sure!

Glad they sorted you out Greg
My back ordered fuel tap should be just about here, ended up being only about a week behind the rest of the order, and I didn't have to pay extra shipping either, they said not your fault we'll send it later.
Pretty cool
Oh, and I wire wheeled my rims... started sanding and said bugger this after about 15 minutes of pain... but then again I was painting them all black except the lip too...

What lowers are these? I'm interested in a pair. Gonna be going dual calipers and I have no access to aluminum welding.
Here are the forks all assembled.

Did the polishing,to bad it's covered in dirty fingerprints from the engineer at work.Manged to get the old bearings out.I could not get a good whack at them with the spacer in the way.Did the freeze and heat trick with the new bearings.Worked great on the first bearing,popped right down.Other side needed a little persuasion but went down OK.Did forget to put the spacer back.Should be OK without it?

Greg, you are not talking about the steel tube spacer that lives inside the rim between the two bearings are you???
Because if you are......uuuuuuummmmm.......No, you won't be alright at all, sorry man, a bearing will have to come out, but the spacer has to be there.
Otherwise your bearings will collapse from exessive side loads after only 3 miles, and the wheel will lock up and you will fall down and you will most certainly be killed.
Seriously, it prevents side loads on the bearings, the outer spacers on the axle push up against the inner race of the bearing, so as you tighten your axle nut, without the inner spacer, you are pulling the two inner races towards each other, with nothing for them to seat against.

Looks like it will be fine now.Got the spacer in with not to much trouble.

Great stuff, I am sure it will be fine, those bearings are really tough, made from some stupid hardened steel, and it does not take too much to pop them in and out, I seriously doubt you managed to damage it.
