I think I did that once and they screwed up rotation on both. They were mags/tubeless so he had it fixed quickly. I actually like doing it. You just have to be smarter than the tire. I may have a unfair advantage , 100 degree days are real common here , I just let it bake in the sun all day and soften up a bit. A big difference between letting it bake in the sun or not. Besides truing wheels , paint work , machine work I do the rest. I would love to have stuff for truing rims.
Ol Skool

Painters are flakes , I have one hell of a story about my paintwork , but not only do I believe it would be real bad carma to tell the story. I also told him I wouldn’t never bring it up again or ever have him paint anything again , not even my toe nails !!! Almost cost me the tank & glass. Definitely cost me a friendship , his fault for sure.
However the guy has laid paint on cars for Clapton & Beck , he is good and I tell myself to keep from coming unscrewed at the guy , “it was worth the wait”. Enough said.
 I just wanted paint , not a look at me paint job. He kept it simple as requested , it does look good ,  I couldn’t have done what he did ! So next time I see him I will thank him for a job well done , I never thanked him for it , try to bury the hatchet !
Maybe salvage a friendship
Wow, The things I go thru just to get a bike built !

Yeah , I really hate drama.

I hope I don’t have to work this weekend , almost excited to install battery & wiring maybe get to where I can test everything including gps,lights,horn,starter & oh yeah check for spark. Still no tires to be had in a set , I may have to just buy a rear tire that doesn’t match the front for now. Definitely getting excited ,  but still a lot to do , can’t wait to ride it makes my heart pound thinking about it !

Sorted all those boxes , thru out a lot of crap , sorted the hardware and got it down to 4 maybe a fifth box of take off stuff that I can’t find. Tried of all the crap from now on only one box per bike and 1 box of general misc motorcycle stuff. I’ve been throwing stuff out and will continue throwing the crap out till the garage is more manageable. Gotta make room.

Get this , the painter wants to do the photo shoot. The paint work didn’t come back for 3 years. You might be in for a wait ,  Lmmfao
Sorry here your on my Ol Skool time absolutely no instant gratification here.
But I’ll see what I can do , no peeking !

Stand to support the axle. Wire pointers next to the rim,your eyeballs can see when the rim deviates,and another wire to show you run out, so you can get the rim the same distance from the axle .   You don't need gauges. A few feet of 1x10, coupla lengths of anything sturdy enough to not deflect when you handle the rim, and a few inches of stiff wire. Put a 90 in your wires, so you can twist them to put them closer to the rim as you get it closer to straight and true.
It's some tedious stuff the first few times.

Shooting for completion end of Sept , begining of October
