Currently the rear wheel is off for new paint and rubber. So that will likely be the next update.

If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

WHile rear wheel is off: Learn about the hub in the rear wheel (called Joint Assembly on microfische).
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.

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.

Got 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.Similar threads
