Time flies so fast~

Emotionally, it feels like I just got here yesterday, but… that’s what I think. What’s going on?

Recent increases in Wuhan coronavirus infections (+)
Looking around the streets~ well~ it seems like it’ll increase~ that’s the impression. . .

If our feelings and daily lives returned to pre-corona times… that would be… . . . . no~

From here on
“People who get infected and learn their lesson” “People who never get infected at all” polarizing into two groups?
Since there are also “people who get infected but are asymptomatic,” it’s three groups… . . .

It’s unpleasant~ it’s hard to realize that health is the most important thing.
Well then, sorry for the wait~ we’re starting slowly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It’s good to know the wheel size and rim width.

The tire specifications are determined by the size and rim width.
Even with the original size, depending on the era, there are times when you go ( ,,`\uff65\u03c9\uff65\u00b4)\uff9d\uff9d\uff9d?

Tires are an enjoyable consumable; it’s fun to think about various options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the tire manufacturing date as well. The presence or absence of tread is important, but you might also find “Wow? Has that much time really passed~~??”
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wipe down the chain, clean it, and apply lubricant.
We massage it while scrubbing with our hands so the oil gets deep inside~ drive chains take quite a lot of stress, so doing this kind of maintenance properly will make them last longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll proceed with fastener conversion as much as we can.
The strategy is to blast off the welded nuts with a milling machine and spot-weld the clips in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The body has both ends of the rivet-fixed receiver trimmed with a shear and spot-welded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the lower joint, we made something like this to fasten it…
Removing four bolts is a pain, right? That’s what I thought…

My mindset is always: if it were my own bike, what would I do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I made it so you can split it by releasing the quick fastener on just one side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

If we paint it black with gun coat, we can maybe… hide the poor finish…

Matte black is a reliable choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

That’s how it is. I think making the right side a fastener will make it easier to remove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It contacts repeatedly, so we deburr the edges and somehow managed to clear it.
The inside of the cowl needs chamfering or the receiver won’t sit well.

There’s a lot of unglamorous invisible time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

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

The sides are without D-rings and you turn them with a coin driver.
The bottom side and bottom surface have D-rings.

Anywhere else would require modifying the frame, which is risky = expensive, so let’s skip that… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn signals to a connector! That’s the hope.

If you don’t remove them it’s 110, but… considering the removal and my work efficiency, it becomes 040.
It’s amazing that we can even flash 10w a little with this.

There’s more to come.
