[Czakky]

Never been a chrome guy but damn! Those look sooo right in chrome!

[rd400greenhorn]

Me neither but agree, these look just right in Chrome so i went for it :)

Allright. Had a minor melt down on assemble of the front forks, Jesus christ it was a pita.

Oh well.. Here we are.
Still lots to do just triel fitted on wheels to see and sit 😁

Stay tuned

You should be able to grab the front brake and bounce the forks to see if they are working.

[rd400greenhorn]

Yes when the front brake is installed 😉😉

So. Its a lot of back and forth
Had another set of wheels done for a future rd project, but the colour got me thinking..

I put Them a side the current rd build - yup, they Are going on.

So as it sits now, still need ignition timing, /wiring
A new speedo drive,  oilpump mounting and the beautifull spec 1 classic pipes.

And on a side note

These rims were water polished /blasted and then just cleaned up, treated with a layer of wd40, wiped down and new tires and bearings
They look so nice

[rd400greenhorn]

So, needs wiring and maybe fine tune of carbs, but. Starts and goes nicely

[soonerbillz]

That is what I plan for mine. Three days of scubbing with Scotchbrite and acetone have removed only ~3/4 of the paint a PO put on mine ('76 were bare).  They will get water blasted this winter.

You wont regret water blasting Them, they Come up brand new.
I rubbed mine down with wd 40 oil and they ready to Rip. Hopefully should be easy to keep clean
