CBR Rims
 

Well, ask and ye shall receive...Shout out to Bald Eagle!

I just happened to be looking for gold 6 spoke CBR or VFR rims and as luck would have it Bald Eagle had a set. A few hours and some Boston traffic later I have what I've been looking for. The front is headed to Will for some repairs, I suspect by the Spring I'll have them on. Pics to follow soon.

Imagine that......

...Shout out to Smokin Joe....Sorry man, I totally forgot. It was SJ's idea in the first place.

Update on rim repair:

Will at Wills rim repair in South Carolina came through very well. He fixed the front rim for a very reasonable rate and got them back to me very quickly. He is on Facebook and accepts Paypal, I had a very good experience, he did a great job.

How much and how damaged was it? It wouldn't hold air or just dinged?

The rim was bent outward on the edges in 3 places. It likely would have held air but I think it would not have run true no matter what and would likely have had a bad shimmy. As for cost, I'll let Will make that call but I am confident that you and any member on the site will be satisfied with his pricing. Shipping via UPS from MA to SC was 32$ each way with tracking and insurance with a 3 day delivery time. The cost of shipping was close to the cost of the repair but when one considers the cost of a good, true, straight rim, I think it's a bargain.

He even installed new/used front bearings (because mine were shot) in order to get a good runout reading at no charge. FYI, I over paid for the service because I thought his price was too low, otherwise shipping would have been more expensive.

Ace,
Got any pics of these rims mounted yet? I'm curious how the Gold looks...do you have Italian Red bodywork?
I bet gold rims would also look great on Blue... and White bodywork also.
