I’m not in a position to worry about the rotation font
Installing aftermarket parts = customization
You never know what might happen
I’m proceeding with excitement and anticipation
The Zephyr 1100 front wheel is
18 inches
The abundance of Kawasaki parts distribution
is seriously problematic
“Abundant and affordable”
I checked the dimensions
“not straightforward”
Since the hub width is too different, I’m rejecting this option
They look similar but the design is subtly different
When I switched to an 18-inch front
there was a “sense of incongruity” …
What do you think?
The OEM uses a lot of thread locker
Safety first! It’s better if it doesn’t come loose
As a technician
“both workability and safety”
I want to achieve both.
I clean the threads with a tap
The thread locker accumulated in the recesses
I clean with a rotary tool with a brush attachment
(*´ω｀*)
Depending on the location
For points I’ll likely remove in the future and deep
areas, I apply the locker as far outside as possible
In case a bolt gets stripped or breaks, it’s easier to recover.
I prefer dial-type torque wrenches
I can watch the torque as I tighten
Developing a feel for tightening
improves your torque wrench skills too. Probably.

Creating a rotation label with P-TOUCH
and applying it makes the work much easier
Brother Label Writer P-touch Cube PT-P710BT (Smartphone compatible/3.5mm~24mm width/TZe tape)
Whoa!
The wheel won’t turn
It doesn’t support 320φ in the first place
so the tip is making contact.
Scrubbing with a square file…
Install ~ file ~ install ~ file
It’s tedious work.
I finished filing down to the minimum necessary (*´ω｀*)
