Bill stopped by today after Donut Derelicts and brought a seat and pedals he got at the LB Cycle Swap Sunday. The pedals are new but the seat needs some work. He also dropped off the tires, tubes and liners he got from Team Bike.
We're upgrading the stock front drum brake with a larger moped unit. Had to open up the forks to accommodate the larger 11mm axle and took a couple of thousandths out of the speedo drive. Bill's going to weld a nub onto the lower left fork leg to retain the brake plate.
Here's a view of what's inside the forks. A spring, slider bushing, spacer, seal, snap ring, dust seal and fork tube.
And this is the new slider bushing Dan made to replace the shorter one. It will drop the front end 1 inch. We were going to just make a 1 inch spacer to add, but there are some oil holes under it and we didn't want the bushing to starve for lube.
Bill also took the fenders and tank home to strip for painting.
