    The story continues. I go to pick up my wheels today. My guy says oh btw, your tires are Dunlop. lol

    K591's to be exact. I guess Harley took that tire over so if you zoom in close it says Harley Davidson on the side wall. I do like the tire design. Just a crazy turn of events. On the other hand I'm glad I let him do the bearings. He had a heck of a time with the rear left. You guys probably already knew that. It was rusted shut.

      How old are those tires? What's the DOT# in the little molded oval with the screw head impressions. Should be 4 digits.

                He must have. These tires feel pretty soft. The old K591's were used for racing back in the days. Should perform well. I should have this beast on the road in December and I will let everyone know.

                    After soaking in bleach, the white shield is finally white.

                      I always paint mine black because the grease gets slung off the rear drive splines and it looks like hell white.

                        I actually have one black, but the guy did a horrible paint job and its chipping before I put it on. Thanks for the info. I just need the second one repainted as a backup.

                          Hey Gene,

                          I've had to fix/edit your last 2 photos posts....because they are spaced/positioned side by side causing sidescrolling.

                          Please put a carriage return/hit the enter button after you paste EACH photo's Image url text, this puts a new text line so that it will position the next photo BELOW the previous one.
                          Otherwise it puts them side by side on the same text line.

                          Looking good!

                            Got it TC.

                            Thanks for all the help guys. Wheel is on. I need to finish the brake caliper and master cylinder along with tightening the shaft nut and adding the cotter pin.
