Picked up my axle housing last week and finally treated it to some paint .... had to go "low rider pimp" on it Primed and painted the swingarm, cleaned and inspected the engine and put it back together yesterday in a marathon session. Pulled another golf cart rim out of the pile and tubed the bad rear tire and i was one camper ....for all of 5 minutes .... tore the valve stem out of the tube.

So i swapped to yet another golf cart rim from off the pile (had to cut the stem out of the first for the tube) mounted the tire ..... anndd then ... it doesn't hold air any longer. bead is completely shot. painful to see a really nice new tire relegated to the pile. trying to find a replacement this week.
