Gaiters

 

I found some gaiters that fit the forks on the trials bike. I'm thinking these will work better on a dirt bike than the short caps that were on them, especially since there was lots of evidence of water and grit getting inside. The forks are 32mm and aren't near as plentiful as the 35mm ones, meaning I couldn't find the stock Ceriani ones easily, but the gaiters are a good snug fit and should look good on the bike.

I mentioned the other day when I finally got the second fork apart that I couldn't see the holes in the snap ring. Come to find out, that was because there was no snap ring in there. I found them listed with Fastenal and Grainger - just a matter of picking them up. Hopefully things will be OK with the Missus and I can resume getting the trials bike buttoned up. She did come home from the hospital yesterday. Nothing really conclusive as to what happened, but no damage to the heart, fortunately.

I did pick up a ground rod for the ham radio. I'll go through the bin with the wire in it and get the ground wire connected to the radio this week. I'm also hoping to get my help lined up this coming week to shoot the antenna up in the trees as well.
