Ok I'm a little late but I just pulled these pics off my camera. This was a garage day at Randy's kick ass shop:

So where is the headlight DIY? They look sick BTW.

dammit I know we should have put something together cause it was pretty easy. I could explain, but I need more pics! Having that wiring harness made all the difference

[Dubber]

I figured I would follow suit =)
Here are some of my photos from that day

I hope you greased those wheel bearings.

[Dubber]

we did not should we have?]

as far as I know wheel bearings get a liberal greasing if you want them to last more than 100 miles... although they are probably ruined by now if they were supposed to be greased.

It doesn't look like there are any grease seals?

The bearings are sealed type, not packable. The only way to get these apart are to ruin them. They do have some grease in them, just doesn't show up very well in picture. The front cap was just pulled off in the picture. They are leaking grease out the back onto the ABS sensor and will eventually have to be relpaced, but should work for quite a few miles.

[Roadhog]

are you sure? I do see a little grease, but I always greased the shit out of mine.


That looks like the rear wheel bearing...

[Dubber]

Yea we really did not know what to do about that.. its not greased though it seemed sealed so we figured it would be ok, there was a lot of grease on the back side of it, again, not really sure what to do, figured i would continue driving it untill something happened i guess...

recommendations??
advice?
input??
thanks =)
