Note to self.... Sportster front hubs SUCK!

I have now laced three front Sportster front hubs.
The first, LAST & ONLY.
A Wideglide/rear hub is a walk in the park compared to this.
But now its finally laced and truing is up next.
Truing that I normally dread will be like meeting an old friend compared to lacing.

First I gave the brand new Morad rim a quick polish with the machine and then by hand. 

Then some protective tape to save the delicate, shiny rim. 

And then the madness begun...... There was times when I was very near a breakdown but finally I walked away as the winner.
