Rang Honda dealer today to ask cost of a new front wheel...£500 ffs
Now question is do i get a second hand wheel or do you think mine is ok?...i have been using my bike with this wheel since i bought it last year and had no probs but when i had puncture end of last year was advised to get another and told bike had probably been binned at some stage (wasn't me )
Here's a couple of pics of the damage

I'm no a fan of rim damage (who is) so I'd grab another wheel.
There's one on ebay right now for £125 in Hull.

Re: opinions plz :)
that looks more like some rough butt tried to change a tyre with a crowbar
just keep an eye out on ebay as they very often go for 30 - 60 moneys.
may be worth messaging a few breakers on ebay who are selling other vtr bits as they may have one in the back somewhere.

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
Re: opinions plz :)
Mark, my opinion is, if it were my bike I'd replace the wheel,

That explains the rim damage, then.benny hedges wrote: like some rough butt - may have one in the back somewhere.
You should be able to pick one up for £50, or Hagon do a refurb service, they should be able to build it up, give them a call.
Alternatively, try for a six-spoke, search on here to see which ones fit, VFR400, early Blade, but there's quite a few more.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

98% of all Harleys ever sold are still on the road. The other 2% made it home
