Why not get them powder coated I did mine last year Cost me ?18 per wheel and they were done in two days and were an exact colour match for my candy red bird. :beer:

How do you take both wheels off at the same time? :dunno:

Wiv spanners?

How do you take both wheels off at the same time? :dunno:

stick it on the "centre" stand, whip the back off as you normally do, get your "car" jack out {scissor type} a block of wood and place it carefully under the engine, between the exhaust pipes, loosen the front nut's & spindle, and lift the front of the bike gradually using the jack,whip off the front wheel and replace the spindle, using an "axle" stand lower the bike on to it, "safer than just leaving it hanging" all the above is on the assumption of no front stand, while the wheel's off you may even want to give it a good clean around the forks, :dunno:

Fook off Kelly

Wiv spanners?

Helpful bastid!!! Thank you Ian......YOU are a gentleman.........when you're not having a go at the Celts!

 

[gypsy]

one little point for safety
loosen the front axle nut /brake caliper /fork bolts before jacking up the front end

[derek kelly]

He Did you know

 

[gypsy]

and just where did he say BEFORE you pair of numbnuts :wank:

 

[derek kelly]

loosen the front nut's & spindle, and lift the front of the bike :dunno:

There! :neenaw:

 

[gypsy]

are you blind dyslexic and stupid ?
where does it say BEFORE

 

[ianrobbo1]

I have met Centaur before, and although he is from the "land of holes" he DIDN'T appear stupid, hence my "assumption" that he would use common sense and therefore loosen said nut's & stuff PRIOR to lifting the bike!!
sorry I had to explain it to you Gyppo m8!! :bang: :f

 

[derek kelly]

are you blind dyslexic and stupid ?

WHO SAID THAT? I can shout just as loud as you can :f

 

[derek kelly]

Can't you just turn the bike upside down and rest it on the pillion and handlebars?

Sure can, but Ian wouldn't assume this technic just because its used mostly by cyclists :neenaw:
