2009 May 14: Front fender, wheels, brake calipers (1.00 hours)

Updated: 

  • Finished mounting the front fender with the stainless fasteners that came in the mail.
  • Mounted the front and rear wheels.
  • Ended up painting the rear caliper holder with a black paint that has a hammered finished. It looks good, though I really wanted to have been able to have the raw aluminum as the final finish. I should have had my powder coater remove this paint chemically when they removed the paint from my wheels. Oh well, not the end of the world.
  • Mounted the front and rear brake calipers.
  • Mounted the rear parking brake and got it adjusted. It may need some final adjustment when the bike is off the lift and I can test the center stand.
