finally pulled the cover. looks like the bolt backed itself out. It is also stripped. will need to tap and clean up the inside threads and get a new bolt. Anyone have one of these bolts laying around?

Just a question,

It seems that black rims are making a comeback. Any particular reason?

Well, im typically a stocker guy, but wanted something different. So i went with the black rims, and going to do the hubs gold but polish out the brake. If i dont like it ill change it but we'll see. Black rims are very popular with Motocross. So idk, just trying it out.

Im not cutting the frame or anything on the bike, i want to be able to go back stock if i want.

well, my rims were pitted anyway so i could either get newer ones or powerder coat, since im going with a mild cafe, i went with the powder.

Needed a chain guard and the oil gear bolt, got both for 25$ from a local guy in town that owns all the h1 in the tri state area i think lol. thanks Roger.

time to start blasting parts to be painted.
