3/28/11 took off the rear rim 6 Bolt (wonder if I can find some golf cart rims and wheels ) and I now know why the brakes are a little soft ...
Metal to metal .... Great now where do I find brake pads in America? The part # is ASK UPH I wonder if that means Gyro Up H for Honda ??? really ...really... weird size .

3/28/11 did some touch up paint on the rusted tank / and frame .Then started putting some of the plastic back on .
The previous owner did some mods to hold the plastic on and had drilled holes so I just used the same holes and put some plastic scraps behind for strength ..

I can't beleve it "what a Dummy I am " .... What a maroon ... I had the wheel off What a dummy and I really wanted to check to see for myself .... Brad I just want to get this bike finished .
Anyway 3/30/11 I have been fighting a bolt to get the rim off to work on the brake WD40 and a impact gun is not cutting it I guess I need to try liquid wrench . I searched and searched for brake pads for this bike w/ not much luck .So today I went to a Honda dealer what a waste of time then another bike shop then another bike shop finally I went to the Chinese scooter shop that sold me a 85 gyro for parts a while back ... I couldn't beleve it the guy had some new brake shoes that are almost a perfect match $40.00 for the pair the only difference is the hole is a bit smaller ... No problem I have a drill and the metal is a lot cheeper but at least I have a set of shoes that I don't have to order from Japan oh I also called some brake places that will re-pad the shoes $70.00 each .... Thats not going to happen . I installed one side it was a bit tight so I just sanded it down a bit ... works fine 
I am so happy the China clones decided to copy my shoe .
