CB750 rear rim on CB500 hub
« on: September 08, 2008, 01:12:11 PM »
Will it work ?  or any other reasonably priced OEM style rear 2.15(WM3)x18 rim for my  4.00x18 tire. The only thing I can  come up with as of yet is this from z1 enterprises    http://www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=3247
Is this rim or the rim from a cb750 compatible with my hub?

Thanks, Chris

I have a 750 rear rim on my 550 hub.  I purchased a new 750 DID rim from my local Honda dealer, I think it was about $95.

I used a standard set of spokes I purchased from David Silver spares.

Everything went together just fine. Other than the time consuming truing process the job was pretty easy.
