I’m having some subtle fun times. It’s summer vacation for everyone…
Even if I hurry, things don’t really change much because parts and materials aren’t all available.

A typhoon is approaching too, so my motivation is getting lazy.
Stickers are actually pretty nice sometimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

When I replaced the rear shock, it hits the muffler <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m temporarily routing the mounting position outward, but I don’t like how much it sticks out.
Ideally about 5mm would be perfect. Even if it touches, that kind of vibe would be cool.

*By the way, for my customers I set a gap of 10mm or more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After thinking about it various ways, I just cut it and welded it. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After thinking about it, the simplest solution is to cut and weld\u2014that’s the best approach.
Cut it off, make a good bevel, and then just build it up. That’s the way to do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being cast iron, it didn’t crumble as much as I expected\u2014that was good.
With this much buildup, I don’t think it’ll break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s nicely tucked in on the inside now.
Ideally I’d build up the weld a bit more and smooth it out for a nicer finish, but I’m too lazy so I’ll skip that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m basically not a sticker person. Since the bodywork is rough, maybe it’s okay once in a while~ <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I like the subtle, understated vibe.
For better or worse, applying stickers is really difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I subtly like the old RK chain sticker.
I applied it without thinking about the rib position and got a bit disappointed…
By the way, I only use Daido chains… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patch is on double-sided tape with magnets, so it’s completely flexible.
The BariBari Machine sticker was something I sent in at my age and it actually got featured.
I’m not going to apply that one…

When I looked around, I found all sorts of stickers,
but the adhesive is getting questionable, so I thought I should use them while I can!
I changed the rear suspension but haven’t ridden it yet. The outside temperature is too high, so I’m thinking I’ll wait until it cools down a bit.
