Need a rear wheel - current one CRACKED !

[kaitsdad]

Hey, everyone ! Doug5551 a fellow forum member has a cracked rear wheel. The wheel was repaired last year, but the repair has now failed.

Pricing out a new wheel on a component basis is very expensive - so before he goes that route, we're looking for a used wheel. Fleabay search is in place, so thought we could try the forum.

Bike is a 2006, so a wheel from a 04 or 05 abs, or 06 and 07 should work.

Appreciate it.

Will keep eyes open for Doug..

I would try some of the local motorcycle recyclers.

Yep. This wheel was repaired last year before the IBR - and the repair failed.

FJRONAMISSION has my rear tire from my wrecked '06. As an added bonus it has an 019 grid mounted on it. Give him a shout.

Actually it is the one from my bike, not the one ON his bike. It is just sitting covered up in his back yard looking for another '06 or '07 to run on. It also spent some time on Roy Epperson's bike. Wheel is complete and ready to mount.
