rebuilding the rear end parts question

[Ben1704]

Ok i scored a complete rear end.  Swing arm, shaft, final drive unite, tire and rim. 

I want to rebuild it.  Is there a parts list of things i should change.  I don't know what people are referring to as splin, gear pin, so if you have part numbers i could look them up, I want to change the bearings on the rim and put a new tire.  The tire that is on there is a wide flat car tire and it stands up by its self. Was thinking of getting a motorcycle tire unless there is a really good proven car tire out there that works great?

??????  Do you have the rest of the bike?????

Unsure about the gear pin, but the splines are the square cut gears that mate the wheel to the pumpkin or final drive;

There's a search box at the top of the forum page that will help you greatly.

cool ok so if they are nice and square then they are good thanks.

Rebuilding for the sake of rebuilding is foolish.  Are the bearings bad?  You may not know how many miles are on that wheel, but it would have to be over 100,00 miles for me to want to change a bearing that felt good.

If you are unsure take the parts to someone that knows what they are looking at, but it sounds like you may be planning on wasting a bunch of money for maybe no good reason.

Listen to Chris on this, he knows his way around this pumpkin/rear end. (notice I kept it clean?)

I'm with Chris on this. Proper maintenance and these things last a LONG time. Got 87+++ on the clock on mine and still good. RIDE SAFE.

There are several car tires that have been used successfully by many Valkyrie riders.  Unless you know why you want to go to a car tire and have done a little research to know what to expect, I would suggest you stick to a tried and true motorcycle tire.  Get to know your bike the way it was designed to handle, THEN decide if you want to make changes.
