  Finished the rebuild on my Electra Glide forks, gave ‘em a polish as well. 

  Poor old girl won’t know what hit her.

  Yeah, especially on a spoked wheel.

  Easy fix on a tubeless.

  From your song choice, it sounds like you don't mind hillbilly solutions.

  The sealing job on the spoked back wheel of the Vic bagger has now lasted with no problems through 3 tyres.

  And the old beadbreaker I scored during the 40,000 kms of running Darkside. Those 195 55 16R Michelin Primacy radials were a bastard to break the bead on.

  I can take a better photo in daylight if you want

  You don't want to seal the rim before you do the spokes. Can't pick up a cheapie to keep you on the road ?

  Just standard stuff mate. Gave me the chance to polish up the fork legs, that came up well.

  Rode it this morning for the first time. Better than it was. A negative side of it all is that it highlights how shitty my rear shocks are.

  Not much travel back there for sure, but if you get a good set the front will feel ordinary 😁

  Got a pic of the polished legs? They do come up well, my cousin Gus was doing it for awhile, had all sorts of wheels and compounds, mirror finish but with luster, better looking than chrome in my opinion.
