Topic: Henry Abe Industries mag wheels.

Hello all,

Are these wheels rare in the States or Australia? They were on my K2 750/4 when I bought it in 1980.

Here's a better shot.

Yes, those wheels are somewhat rare in the US, with Lesters the most common of the mag wheels, followed by Morris.

 A few years ago someone stumbled across a stash of them in a warehouse and they were cheap for a year or two but the supply is spread out and they are expensive again. There might be a 16" rear wheel or two left on ebay. I snagged a disc brake disc 16" rear for my drag bike, it's still in the box. I planned to match it to a Suzuki 5 star front rim.

I have a new HA rear 16" wheel.
Bought cheap 12 years ago. My plans changed.
I have an almost matching front wheel from a Suzuki GS1000 1980.

A Suzuki GS1000 -79 fork complete with brakes too.
Bearing kit CB750 frame - GS1000 fork.

Thanks for the responses. Appreciated

They are the cool factor rim Steve.
Back when I was parts manager in 1976 in the states I remember seeing and reading about them in advertisements in magazines but didn't see any in person.

I stocked the Lester mags as that was what the bossman wanted in stock and what most customers went with as we had them in stock.

I have a nice 16" rear one that came on a 550 I bought in the 80's. The guy I bought it from told me that it was a Yamaha mag grafted onto a Honda brake plate -  he also told me that the forks were extended 6 inches - they were just standard 750 forks!

 Sounds like the PO of a parts bike that my brother gave me, it had an 836 kit, a beer or two later, it was a 900 kit and eventually it was a 936 kit. When I took it apart, it had a 736 kit L0L!
