Yeah they are pretty small tires! The front is a 90/90 18, the rear is 110/80 18. The rear currently has a 120/90 and it has rubbed a whole through the rear plastic fender!
I weighted the front tires and the new Avon is 2 pounds lighter than the Skinko that came off.
The tires should really help the feel of the bike. In addition to the Avons begin lighter, they also have more of a triangular shape, where as the Skinkos are squarer, and flatter.
On the fork not only am I stuck getting the damper liner out, but the parts supplier sent two pairs of dust seals, instead of fork seals and dust seals.
Oh, and the darn front wheel bearing will not come out.
This thing is kicking my butt!
It's a project, right?
Dropped the front wheel off at the powder coaters. Hopefully this weekend the end will be completed; brakes, fork.
Teaser photo.
Fresh powder coat, new rotor s and bolts. I order the wrong front wheel bearings. I have four rear ones. Ugh. That said I now have the steering bearings in correctly.

Valves are looking good. Before and after.
