my front wheel is slightly bent and i could feel a little front wobble while riding. any suggestions on where and how to look for a used one in straight condition instead of popping big $$$ for a brand new one? or is it best to buy new to gurantee straigtness.

 

Best bet if price is an issue is to just start hittin ebay up. what year do you have? A couple posts down a guy is parting out an 06. He may have a straight wheel on the cheap

 

I have also known people who have sent their wheel into a place that does the straigtening, but it usually messes up the finish on the wheel, ebay is probably a better bet.

 

yeah, im looking for a 2004 rr. its not really noticeable riding straight on, but i can pick up on it in turns. i hope replacing the wheel will solve the problem.
ok, so if i find a used front wheel on ebay that say's it's 'straight' i can be assured it's straight?
thanks, im starting to look around ebay for a good deal getting ready for spring!

 

just make sure they have a good reputation on ebay. Use PayPal when buying **** as they have buyer protection (so does ebay). Never send money orders or checks to people you don't know or have very little rep points. But if the seller has a good rating and are reputable, ask to see if you can get a cheaper price on the items if you mail them a check instead. When I bought my RR engine from a Shop in VA, I asked that and they said they'd ship it for free and throw in a master cylinder too, saved almost 250 bucks right there. Since they didn't have to deal with the PayPal %. And that's quite a bit for a high priced item like an engine.

You can use 03-06 front rims even though 05-06 forks changed. I'll check around with my sources to see if anyone has a good front rim. I was able to get my front rim with rotors and new tire for 280 shipped (which is a hell of a deal with rotors, only needed the rotors though. :P) Although I do have an extra front rim, but there's a nice sized gash on the lip.

 

thats one heck of deal. thanks i'll be looking too.

 

Not to mention a hand full of new shop towels. I told the guy to wrap them around the rotors to protect them during shipping.

 

Im reachin here but there might be a chance that it is just out of balance ...maybe the weight fell off or moved.id personally take to a Honda dealer have them check the balance b4 spending cabbbage on another rim.I mean if ya dont need a new rim why buy one. My 2 copper

 

good point about the balance. i did have honda check it and they confirmed the wheel is slightly bent after checking over the balance of the tires.

 

I am in the market for a fron tire/rim for a 1994 Honda CBR 600F2 Front Rim.
Is that rim for the F?
