Unloading A Honda 600

Post by Mark P Hatten »

Got all the tires to hold air and sprayed the wheels chrome look paint. The 1st step in my restoration guide is getting all the tires to hold air. Sounds simple don't it ? Luckily I had some used tubes. I power wire brushed all the insides of the rims from flaking rust. I actually was able to piece together a set of old used not too cracked Michelin X's, so all four tires match. What a treat!. Now we roll it off the trailer and into "restoration row"...... enjoy the time lapse video, and some sweet classic Milli Vanilli instrumental serenade

I know. They were a GREAT tire. Mine are cracked, but still look pretty good.  In a sentimental way they look perfect!

Sure Mark,
Those Michelins are so great, I had two blowouts with them on the same day (in transit to Eugene OR).  Whatever tread is left is not worth the risk.

That is interesting..  They have always told me that they cant get them anymore.  We are talking about he 10 inch tires right?  And what kind did you get so we can all check again.
