The spare is useless - the tire is flat, old,
and unsafe. However, it appears to be original. My intention is to
keep it in the carrier under the fuel tank as a decoration. I first
sprayed it off with water, lightly taped over the yellow "CAUTION"
sticker (which may be irreplaceable), and masked off the rubber tire
before spraying the wheel back to black. I then applied some tire
shine.
