Balancing

Finally I've set the proper counterbalance weight at the front rim.

I've found the self-adhesive lead bars specifically made for motorcycles, but the smallest quantity was a 50pcs bag, USD43. With that money here could buy 5lts of Motul 5100 oil, and don't like to save that bunch of lead stuff when only needed a single chunk of a stripe.

So... gone through the "China Rider" spirit : grabbed a bunch of used airgun pellets from my backyard, melted them and got a 16x3mm bar: chopped it until reach piece with the required weight (35g on this case), covered it with shrink tube, added 3M adhesive foam, and presto!

Maybe tomorrow will have the chance to ride the bike and see if my "China Rider Balancer" worth the money (unp aid).
