Last week, I received two shipments, rear wheel with tire & chain sprocket set.
Here is the wheel/tire that I got from a ebay seller crashedcrotchrockets. A great guy to deal with. I was very happy to see the shipment 3 days after I sent him $$. Tire looks good and wheel looks straight. It came with sprocket, which is barely used.
It did not come with the rear disk, so I transferred it from my old wheel.
My old wheel had a bent. I know I can get it fixed here in Houston, but it would had cost me $150.00. Then to get a new tire on that, it would have cost me $250.00. But since crashedcrotchrockets was selling this for $150, I saved about $100.00!!!
Now, the chain and sprockets were different story - a disappointing one. I bought this set on ebay from Jawzy's Powersports. Here is the screenshot of what i bought.
It clearly states that I am buying a 106 link chain. But they sent me 120 link chain. I didn't notice it until I started to put it on. Just sent them ebay message. We'll see what happens. But this means that I don't get to ride it next week.
I also changed the front brake pads. It was worn out completely. It took me about 30 min. to get this part done - a very easy process!
And lastly the headlight - the low beam was burnt out. It's an easy change, but not cheap when using a SilverStar® ULTRA H7 bulb.
