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.

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.

Mark, my opinion is, if it were my bike I'd replace the wheel,

That explains the rim damage, then.

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.

Nc23 triarm is a three spoke cbr400rr
Fits
Nc29 cbr400rr six spoke fits
Nc30 vfr400 six spoke fits
Cbr600f3 six spoke fits
And if you want it to turn in faster fit
A 16" six spoke from a 94-96 fireblade

does the fireblade one fit straight on Lloyd with the discs ?

[lloydie]

Yes use your discs on it but the tyre is a 130-70-16

I've got two spare set of wheels could sell you one pair they are silver. Makes it a lot easier to have spare wheels so new tyres can be fitted and waiting , PM me if interested
