So....will that make it track weird or feel off center ? Corner better one way than the other?
I assume the disc lines up with the caliper?

Re: What did you work on today?
I know the supermoto guys offset their rear wheels for chain /tire clearance sometimes but I don't how the front wheel being off center would have affected the bike. But it is centered in the forks now, whenever I put the Husky back together I'll have to change the offset back again on whatever wheel goes on it.
The caliper/disk line up fine as it is all Husky parts, nothing custom other than changing the offset of the rim on the hub.
My new clutch pack and pressure plate came in today. The last few rides I noticed the clutch wasn't grabbing hard and felt like it was slipping some. Pulled it apart and the PP had visible wear.
New vs old. You can see the ring on the inside vs the new one being smooth from edge to edge.

Re: What did you work on today?
Swapped in a fresh set of sla batteries in the Oset. A lot more peppy now, caught me off guard and almost looped it, ended up yanking in the rear brake lever as if it were the clutch and DAMN near went over the bars
Might see about trying to adapt a foot lever to make it more dirt bike like for the little one (and myself)

Quite a few adults loop it (usually end up just hopping off back and catching it).gots_a_sol wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 9:15 pm Swapped in a fresh set of sla batteries in the Oset.

Between the short wheelbase and the power coming on quicker than you think its easy to do!

Worked on fixing the firewall I had hacked up for the v8 I was trying to use in my 54. Ugh, what a pain.

Re: What did you work on today?
Bought a toy hauler. Attacked it with the eraser wheel for a few hours today.
No Harleys here
Guess I'll need a new sticker here to cover the fade.
I dont understand why they put these stupid graphics on rvs/campers. Half this shit was peeling off.

Pulled the grill out of my new to me truck and gave it the plastidip treatment as I don't like chrome.

After. Much better.

Knocked the 'new' 250 off the stand the other day and snapped the clutch lever
So what do you do? Tusk $12 replacement? Nope, stare at it a while and decide to weld it back together. While I'm at it, cut about 20mm out and make a proper shorty lever. Though now that I've played w/ it, might grind a bit of the 'ball' off and just leave an out-turned lip.

Re: What did you work on today?
I watched my daughter change out the done bone on her KLX 140G for a lowering link and change the oil/filter on it. It looks a little funny to have full size wheels on it and be lowered but when her legs get a little longer we can put it back. It dropped it about 1.75" in the back and we raised the forks in the triple clamp about 3/4". It had been previously dropped and cocked the bar risers a little. We disassembled and straightened all that up as well. Nothing left to do now but get her out on the trial on it.
Don't tell her mom that I let her get on it wearing shorts:
