Spring has officially sprung and I have sprung into action getting the RD Racer back on the road. This weekend I completed a tear-down of the carbs, charged the little micro-battery, and spent some time puzzling over the rear wheel alignment. Right now the rear wheel is my "big issue".
My quest for more grip led me to install a wider rear tire and now swingarm clearances are an issue. Hard cornering, my 180 lbs, and vintage 1970's chrome-moly all lead to some pretty substantial swingarm flex. After a hard ride with lots of aggressive cornering, I can see where the tire has rubbed the swingarm! I am moving the rear wheel back about 10mm to increase clearances.
Should be test riding this weekend!
