My Star Hubs on my 1961 FL are about worn out. What do people here think is the best way to repair them or can they be repaired.
A NOS set just sold on ebay for $350.00 This tells me that original ones are pretty valuable. There was a letter in The Antique Motorcycle about building up a brake drum by spray welding and then turning the drum down on a lathe recently. I was wondering if anyone thought this might work on a star hub.
I know i can buy repros but you also need a different axle.and this bike is all original. As you can see by my verbosity I have given this a lot of thought. Does anyone have a good solution?
Thanks for the help,
