First batch of parts just came in :)
Polar-Bus:
Nothing more gratifying that admiring your hard work restoring a bike to as new condition. SWEET looking 500 !

Thanks bus and it's nice having folks around to help out when we get in a jam ;)
New Gaerne SG10s just came in and they fit perfectly with awesome protection and great feedback from the controls I used to buy the cheaper boots back in the day and always paid for it somewhere along the line it was tough pulling the trigger on these boots at the price they wanted but I'm too old for the hospital with broken ankles or feet.
The sizing on these boots is perfect I wear a 10 regular in everything from combat boots to running shoes and these boots fit just right everywhere but I tried a pair on at the local shop and ordered online saving over $110 so good deal there.
I also noticed that the left boot has a nice slim profile for shifting and I didn't have to raise the shifter.

Too funny I have the same boots. Excellent boot, and a price that won't drain your wallet.

So you already know how great these boots feel and it feels like my ankles are in a cast but they have the hinge system so walking and shifting is a breeze I'm glad I went this route I almost got cheap on my body which would cost me later lol.
New kenda 130-80-19 is mounted with dual tusk rim locks and michelin extra heavy tube so I can run it almost flat without any problems and the tusk rim locks have much better gripping surface to them and extra protection for your tube a nice piece and the tusk rim lock covers.
Nice and beefy the biggest 19" tire you can buy that is great for soft terrain and DOT legal but I was told by the shop that the tire companies are phasing out the 19" tire selection which was thin already.
Polar-Bus:
Cripes, that is one gorilla of a tire ! The chain doesn't hit the knobs ? Keep an eye on this.
When I run ice screws on my 120 rear tire, the chain slightly rubs the screws....
