The Lawson replica’s sticker shock price is still going strong\u2026
Considering the number of units and how long ago it was made, the sticker shock just keeps getting worse? Maybe (; \uff65`\u0434\uff65\u00b4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inspection is complete, so we’ll do maintenance and an oil change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The wheel bearings front and rear are operating smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake calipers were overhauled previously and operating smoothly. We skimmed the pad surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We degreased and cleaned the brake discs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll scrub the chain thoroughly and lubricate it.
There’s no chain stretch or other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We replaced the old tank molding with a longer one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rear brake shaft is a complicated design\u2026
It’s full analog and has a subtly elegant construction ( *\u00b4\u8278\uff40)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We changed the fluid.
With bikes from this era, squeezing the lever hard will spray fluid everywhere, so installing a master float is a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tube fuses just need cleaning and checking. The battery looks fine too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll remove the muffler for the oil change.
Surprisingly, fully fixed mufflers can be tricky to remove because of the under-tube routing.
Using a rubber plug or something similar to tension it makes single-person removal and installation much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
