2000 Suzuki GS500E

[Chinampa]

Got my rear tire in the mail so I did some more work

Started by removing the rear wheel


Pretty dirty but nothing too bad


Cleaned up the swing arm and the inner fender



What's a bead breaker?


Tire off


Tire on


Half an hour later of lots of soap and trying to seat the bead. Ready to balance.


Didn't need much in the way of balancing, took the old weights off and put two on.


While I had the rear apart I took the time to tuck the reflectors up closer to the fender


Also rounded the edges on the cut license plate mount so it looked more finished


Rear end done!


Still waiting on bars and a few other parts. Gonna go get plates tomorrow morning
