New Non-KX Project
umberto:
I got my new wheel halves in today. They are reproductions, but they actually have twice as many bolts that hold the wheel together. Should make them a bit stronger:
I wish all dirt bike wheels were like this. It was so easy to mount the tire! You just put the tube in the tire, inflate the tube just a little bit, put on the valve stem side rim, turn over and install the other rim, and bolt together. It took me maybe ten minutes per side. Here is one of the wheels before I installed the hub:
And finally, here is the completed bike. Kind of sad to be done, but it's on to the next one!

Thank you sir. It was a lot of fun to work on. It brought back so many good memories of my childhood.

Looks GREAT!
I've had to use a heat gun at times to remove old hard tires.
Heat them till you smell them burning, then heat them some more.
It stinks but makes the tires way softer.
