Default front wheel replacement
hey guys,

i'm new to the forums i recently bought a project 91 1000f when i bought the bike it came with a bent front wheel. I was looking around for a OEM replacement but came up somewhat dry, is it possible to replace the front wheel with another honda model?

any suggestions? any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Welcome to the baord

Yes you can replaceqith another hooonda model, but you can find front wheel cheapp on ebay.for other models you might have to find spacers and other stuff, and don,t forget the 1000f is a bit heavy so the beating of another model might not like it. I know that on this forum someone replaced his wheels by the wheels of a firehawk vt1000r.

firewire, a new wheel shouldn't be too hard to find.
Look around for a local moto salvage yard, or get one off ebay.
Here is one in Florida with a tire and rotors: Front Wheel CBR1000F

Yep, you have to be somewhat broad in your search sometimes....

BTW, where are you located firewire? Adding it to your details may be beneficial....
