Spare wheels

[brick1]

Friends,

I'm looking for a spare set of wheels that I can set up with fresh rubber, for quick parking-lot style wheel/tire changes.

I don't have time to follow e-Bay too closely.

Is there a salvage yard, or a seller of good used parts that I should know about? Is there someone on this forum that has a set to unload?

Just need to be pointed in the right direction.

PD

Sorry, I don't know how to do the 'clicky' shortcut...

These both have 90% tread Michelin's mounted.

Peter purchased a wrecked 2005 FJR a few weeks back..... I was inquiring about the same FJR... After months being listed with no interest, the FJR sold almost at the same time I found the bike and placed an inquiry. Turns our the ******* who purchased the bike right under my nose was Peter!!!

Apparently the 08 wheels will not fit my 07.

The eBay 2005 wheels interest me but the seller wiil only ship within the USA. I am only a few hours from the border. Does anyone live near Port Huron, MI or Buffalo, NY that would be willing to receive and hold the wheels until I can drive down and pick them up???? Should be able to pick them up within a few weeks.

Thanks

Be careful.... if you need wheels for an ABS, you need to specify when talking about an '05. Also be aware you can get a new rear for $360 at Ron Ayers (was $325 in November). Been looking myself........

But that $360 doesn't include rotors, bearings, spacers, and any other stuff needed and that will drive up the cost significantly.

Yep.....found that out..... to do a quick wheel changeout you need all the "other" bits and pieces.... adds up fast! I have been able to source several of the parts used which is helping drive the cost down...

Yes....I know about the ABS..... The wrecked 05 was an ABS model.... Have I mentioned how much of a ******* Peter is for getting the 05 before me!!!! :headbonk:

It's too bad the 08 wheels don't work.

You could buy this 08 FJR for cheap, use the wheels, and then fix it/sell it.
