Thanks for all the tips guys; I got it pretty close for a used rim.  I'm sure Jarrin won't notice anything and besides, he doesn't need an advantage!  Here' the jig I made, very simple:



and here's one for Augie: (just don't tell my wife!)



Keep it between the ditches!

My original stand was just an old swing arm stuck in a vice, lengthened slightly to accomidate 21" wheels, still works to this day and no real cost involved, I did get my wrenches from Buchanans, but-kll never wear'em out.

Mick,

  Yep, that is pretty much how it looked, the fun factor that went along with that old Honda is off the charts, or at least that is how it seems in retrospect.

  Best of luck with your project, you guys should have a lot of fun riding together, I know Chad and I always did.  He just bought his first place and I am going to drop off his bike for him to work on in his spare time, hopefully we will get some seat time together this year, those are the best of times.
