About time

Got a couple of days off for good behavior. Four days which is more than I have had off since July. Got all the stuff for fixing up the Rocket after the dealership #ucked it up. Started to work on her this afternoon. Here is a few pics of how to DIY.

Replacing wheel bearings and all spacers. New licence plate holder. Replacing all of the screwed up bolts and nuts. Dealership can kiss my ass. Really like the new licence plate holder and how it fits. Took a bit to figure it out but very happy with the final product. Tools cost a bit but for general information the bike master stand is fantastic. Yes that is a DARKSIDE tire. The blind bearing puller well worth the money. Nothing being done half ass. I can use the tools on the Harley too. It all works out rather well. Will show final pic.

Hey Sonny , was the license plate holder sold as a tail tidy with the raised fixings for the indicators ? Looks good mate !

Yes but it was a real pain to install. The holes in the new plate were smaller than the stock plate. So I took the stock grommets and cut them in half, then very carefully with my wife's help installed the bracket with the half grommets between the fender and new bracket it worked. The new bracket is mounted so it will not wiggle around.
