The CCM contrasts nicely with the uncarpeted chipboard stand, I think.
If they sell one they can afford carpet next time!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Well it finally decided to be a nice day here so was able to get the bike closer to back on the road.

thought I had all the bits needed but found out I was sold the wrong bearings for my front wheel.

Image

So after getting that sorted......hybrid ceramic wheel bearings for a RC51 can be tough to find.......though the set for the rear was correct so after cleaning my wheels and giving them a fresh coat of wax.....

Image

Got the rear end back together

Image

Though I didn't take any pics of the fork build, they have new fork tubes & bushings, SKF green seals and of course fresh fluid and got them reinstalled
Image

Now just waiting for the correct bearings to show up..... 8)
