help ID these cast wheels
« on: December 19, 2007, 01:04:24 PM »
Pictured is the rear wheel that came with the '69 cb750 basket case I bought last week. The front wheel is identical.

Were these mags aftermarket at the time, or did they come out later. I understand that some people dig them, but I'll probably switch over to standard lace wheels and hubs.

Anyone know the brand? They are very clean and free of corrosion, and they appear to be true.

most likely henry abe. What size is that rear? 16"? Personally having tubless tires is totally worth having mag rims.

Yes Henry Abe wheels.
I have a set also. They have "HA Industries" casted into them.

Cheers
