Hi Del. Those wheels and tyres look amazing! Noticed on your last shot of the bike you had a bit of wood to prop it up. My scrambler is the exact same, seems to lean over a lot. Would be nice to see you fabricate something to correct this and I could copy 👍

Nice job Del. Penny your bike is looking very cool, Mr & Mrs Scrambler LOL. Hope all is well for you both and not too wet and cold over there, 32C here today. Have a great and relaxing weekend, take care. Cheers .

Excellent work as usual Del. I am sure it has been asked many times but do you use the same multi purpose grease for your fork shaft/axle and do you lubricate your wheel bearings as well?

Overall, I like what you’ve done with it. Only thing I would have done different. Add a floater front rotor. I have an 06 and the floater and a set of EBC HH pads made huge difference in stopping power. Left side rotor from a Honda F3 is a perfect match btw. Mine is a EBC for said F3.

Delboy, I saw you wipe off those wheels and tires and it reminds me to ask you a question. I have HD lower fairings. and there is a rubberized surface on the door area of the hard lowers. And it has a whitish residue. Any tips on how to make it just normal rubber color? These are directly from HD and less than 6 months old.,

Hi buddy, the best thing to dress rubber is silicone, you can buy the nice smelling dashboard shine type spray silicone, or even products like GT85, they will leave the rubber with a deep rich shiney appearance and the coating will help the rain water to just roll off, so preserving as well!

When you had the first wheel on your balancing machine every time you let go you looked like you were doing a crocodile impression 😂 Made me smile 😁

hi there, thank you for your support.. You must use only the correct size tyres on the factory wheel rims, no wider... BUT, if you fit a 5" wide back wheel rim, then you could fit up to a 180x17 tyre, and a 120x17 tyre on the front, but it MUST be fitted onto a 3.5 inch front wheel rim.! NOT on the factory wheel..! I hope that helps.
