Astrid: Rear Hub Inspection

Realized that maybe I have a good rear wheel on Astrid, and if I could just swap it over with Viola's, then I'd have a good stock setup there.  Inspected the hub and found it looked to be about right.

Viola: Gas Tank Sanding

Working on the inner panels of the gas tank.  Strangely, one side was very rusty while the other was relatively clean.

Red: Tank Inspection

This tank just gets better and better.  Inside was spotless.  Exterior was very nice, too.  There was a dent, but it's under the side cover.  Looks like it was repainted at some point, unless it's very worn original paint.

It has a second output on the opposite side of the tank.  I forget why they did that.  Also, the petcock has a separate line for the reserve - why?

It must be that when you switch to reserve, it draws from the both sides of the tank, and delivers it to the main output.
