Topic: Early CB750 rear rolled rim?

[Impala]

Hello,  I have been searching around on this site and have yet to find a Clear picture of the difference between a early CB750 K0  "Rolled Rim" and later style rear rims. Could someone direct me to a post to help or maybe post some nice pictures? Thanks for help. Paul.

 I'll get a pic by this evening. There is no flat side as in the front rim, it is round from where it contacts the tire until it wraps around to the spokes.

I can't get the pic to post from the phone. I'll post from the computer.

My neighbor has a Sandie but he might get pissed if I knock on his door this late. (10.11) pm . Will post some real pics though with Don in a day or so and I know there are a few other guys with Sandies around here to show and tell 

[Don R]

 I could tell blindfolded, it you can feel any flat side it's not rounded.

It's hard to get a good photo of chrome. Buuut here it is.

Nice quality pics on the rim Don on your Sandie find and congrats on that nervous auction find. Can you give the guy a little farther out look at the rim also and let him know if there are any specific markings stamped on it .  Good info and pics for future searchers   ---  Eric

  I can, I was trying to show the rolled edge, It's hard to see in the pics from farther away.  The only marking is the DID logo in the space next to the valve stem.
 She's a sweet little sandie, I just took her for a lap through town. I think I added about 300 miles already.

I know what your saying, its so much better to be able to actually to see them in person and do a real hands on inspection to tell the difference. Maybe the original poster will want to know more about the nuances between the rolled and later K0. Good pics though on that post.

My K0 has a set of Lesters, no help there.  The drag bike is a K1 but it's wearing a hog rim, as is my brothers extended fork K2 (I hate it). The next wheels I have here are F0 and F1. I could shoot those.
 It is very obviously rounded, if you are not sure, you don't have one. This was the first one that I spotted and knew it was a rolled rim. I'm sure way back when I saw dozens and didn't know it. I still don't understand why the rear is rounded and the front looks more like later wheels.

Thanks for all the help Don and Eric!.  Nice pictures/info. It looks like I have to add rear rolled rim to my list of parts I need for my bike. The quest for parts/info. and meeting new people along the way is half the fun. Thanks Again, Paul.

The rolled rim is nice but a newer replacement is considered acceptable. Good luck with your project.
 This rim was original to my sandcast but the PO had moved it to his drag bike. I had to buy the drag bike too just for the rim.
