Checked air in the tires, pushed the starter button, and rode over to Barber's Museum for the day.

You guys have given me an idea. It's about time I visited the Solvang Motorcycle Museum out here on the west coast. Not nearly as extensive as Barber's but it'll have to do for now.

Today I changed the rear wheel rim size from 5.5 to 4.25. Fitted the rear wheel back et voila! no more chopper-esque rear end and plenty of clearance for the chain (see post on this subject). I kept the 160/60/17 tyre and it has a much more rounded profile. Looking forward to a test ride tomorrow providing there's no salt on the road which is likely as temperatures are dipping below freezing at night. Whilst the wheel was out I took the opportunity to give the swingarm, rear frame and sump area a good clean.
