New front hub for my WLA

Just a brief status update.. the front wheel is in pieces.. I ended up buying a new front hub.. I decided to go for the one with Timken style replacable bearings.. Looks a bit shiny, but I’ll give it some rattle can olive drab later.. Also got new spokes for the front. I am keeping the Russian style 19 inch wheels, just putting on some new Avon tires.

Other new parts; I bought parkerized WLA passenger footrests to go with the buddy seat I have. Will still have to see if I need other things for the front wheel/brakes, I should have everything but once we start putting the front wheel back together I’m sure something comes up, always does.. ;)

Still considerign selling the WLA, but perhaps it would make sence the get the bike registered first and then see about the selling thing.
