yeah, and not to sound like billy bad butt, but I have a pretty much on/off temper, and the switch was about to be flipped, so it was just time to get outta there before it became way to big of a deal over a bad powder job on an old m/c rim.

Its just a stock rear cb350 18" rim. I know they have some kind of denotation (wm3) or something like that. I may just try to lightly ruff it up with the blaster and shoot epoxy over it. Also mikes xs sells a black shouldered aluminum 36 spoke rim for around a bill, but I don't think I want a shouldered aluminum rim on the front of the hardly...
 
sure is a Honda.. but its a 36 holer. Some of the smaller displacement bikes ran 36 spoke rims from what I understand
 
nevermind, but heres a bin with a fresh tire for a Ben

not a bad price, anddd free shipping. looks pretty clean too. I have a few local bike salvage yards I may hit up first though. I take any excuse I can get to go walk around those =)

Ha, my privileges haven't been revoked.... yet.
 
Hey, I still have that CL360 rear wheel here that was a good rim on it. If you want it you can have it... but you'll have to get it today or tomorrow or wait till March.
 
jus drive by and toss it in his yard on yer way out of town ;D

Mr welder, you could make a five spoke pinwheel with rim, some used spokes and some scrap rod welded to a chunk of tube. set it up on a couple notched 2X's like a balancer so you can paint the wheel nice and even with and of it gets the runs just keep it turning slow to flow it out.

Good idea... wonder if he'd be mad if he came out and found a MC wheel embedded in the back window of his car? ;D

Probably at least two. They decompose in a few years. Well the plastic may take a few hundred..

Quick mockup with a half re laced wheels (still waiting on my stainless spokes). I was thinking about painting the hub and brake black, but after seeing this, I think I'll leave it aluminum finish. Thoughts?

It will look more classic in aluminium. Personally I'd leave as it, but it depends on the look you are going for I suppose.
 
Got me some s.s. spokes. Gotta go visit the in-laws for a few weeks in Georgia for the holidays, so I'm going to try to get the hub cleaned up so I can keep myself busy for a few hours down there lacing up the wheel =)

Made a new coil mount to clear up room for the tank, whichever one I use. Kinda still digging the sporty tank even if it's not popular with everyone.

Thinking about making a new top clamp so I can run my cb550 tubes. They are about 3" shorter than the Harley tubes (which are 2" over stock). A bird in the hand. . .
