Need a black rim for a buddy on a 2008 GS500F, we went rdding last night and Chris nailed the worlds largest pot hole going into a construction zone, i was able to at least lock the rear brake and slow enough to not cause damage. Let me know what you have, he's waiting approval on his membership to gs500

Is it bent? They can be fixed.

Will Babb does great work. Used to charge $60 per wheel.
I have had several fixed by him, great since he is local to me.

Common sense in not very common.

How about I sell you a nice silver 4.5 inch kat (so its straight spoke), which can take a 160+ tar for 125. Its a straight fit with just brake arm bending needed.
Cool.

I geuss i should of verified, Chris bent his front rim, i took it for a ride and it is fine under 35 but on the highway the front end almost hops and wonders, its really noticable at any speed when you lean into a turn, the rim seems to bounce and feel real scary. This freakin pot hole was like a half foot deep by 4 feet wide i'd say. Im lucky my bike didnt suffer damage or ethier of us dump it.

Oh, we live in iowa, do you think it would be cost effective to ship and have it bent back, no places in iowa fix bent wheels, i had to ship a rim to CA once and it cost $75 bucks but its was $150 in shipping total.

F.Rim wont cost more than 20 to ship anywhere ...
Cool.
