Mounted new Avon RoadRiders.
Its the third set we’ve done with a No-Mar CH200 tire changer. It has a bit of a learning curve — we are getting faster & got these tires on without marking up the powder coating.

Test fit of rearset on other side. Adapter worked out nicely. (The left & right adapters are different.)
The shift linkage rod is for a T500 motor & will need shortening.
Will need the kickstart lever mod.

Right-side T500 rearset worked out nicely. Will deal with the rod length after we have the seat on.

Right side looks good with rod adjusted & brake cable installed.

Left side will work out too. I modified the shifter shaft adapter — still needs a bit more work. Looks like rod will need shortened a bit.
