That's what I was thinking too Joe.

Today was the day to start working on the rear wheel, but first I needed to make a fixture for the wheel to rest in.
Once that was done, off with the old and a good "Before" picture...
I've got most of those ridges removed, and have tried twice. I still have more to remove to get the tire bead to seat.

Yeah Joe, I looked at your pictures again... I have a long way to go yet.

OP

Yup and 36 and 40 grit flap discs.
I don't want to be too aggressive so I am going slow.

I'm also using one of those. I finish the surface after using the grinder with the disc and then try seating the bead again until I get it right.
looking good...and it neat seeing someone go for it as i did ....using a car tire was something i thought about for yrs to do

Keep as much aluminum as you can from building up in the stone. It can build up and cause excessive heat which can cause the stone to break apart at speed.

V that's why I am switching between the two different tools. When I use the flap disc, the grinding wheel gets a break and can cool down, plus I am only taking off the minimum of material that way.
Joe In 2010 when I bought the 1100 and put the first 3000 miles on a new rear motorcycle tire before it failed, I new I wanted to try a CT on the bike. I just the 1200 parts bike to make it work. Loosing the 1100 motor was a good thing. :BigGrin:

Just wanted to be sure you were aware of the danger. I occasionally grind on scrap iron to clean out my stone if I use it on aluminum or brass.

Actually, the temps are in the teens so it is too cold to do anything right now. Plus a tire iron got away from me and smacked me in the wrist so I am on the mend before I take another whack at it.

I'm not trying to hijack the tread, I'm wondering if anyone knows if this MOD can be done on a 1000?
