Thanx, but I think thats probably worth more than the bike ;)

[weeshuch]

give cheshire motorcycle salvage a go they have a couple for sale at £135
they have a secure wbsite cheshiremotorcyclesalvage.com good luck :)

You may be able to have the rim straightened out if it's not too seriously damaged. Worth a try???

[Nigel C]

Should cost around £60-70 to get it straightened .

Just a thought but are there any other members near you ?? maybe you could "borrow" a wheel to get you through the MOT

That wouldn't have fitted anyway, looks like it was for a 916/996/998 and the rim size was wrong too - you need 17" for the monster.

Keep an eye on fleabay they always pop up from time to time.

Can you imagine how quick the steering would be on an already lightning quick Monster if it had a 16" front wheel?!?!?!?!?

Tankslapper anyone..?

PS. I'm hoping the MOT testers overlook the ding in my rim ;)

Anybody in the north west who could lend me a front wheel to get through the MOT,please?. I'll pay £40 for the loan for 2 hours.

[Mr Cake]

I reckon you'd get mine past them. I'm near Northwich.

Dave big thanx for the offer.I'm going to try and get it straightened today,if I have no joy I 'll be in touch, incidentally what colour is your wheel, mines the goldish colour.If the tester realises its a different/borrowed wheel he might get a bit funny (hes already let me off with illegal cans and an illegal number plate ;) , anyhow thanx again, Wayne.

[Mr Cake]

My wheel is gold. Let me know where you got it straightened because ideally I need mine doing.

:D

Wayne,
I spotted that wheel on ebay tonight too, and rich beat me to posting it up. Looks in good nick but you may have to swap the wheel bearings if its from a later hollow spindle bike and your monster has the smaller solid type?

[A Yerbury]

the ealier is the hollow no?

[gary tompkins]

Errr..... No - other way round Yerbs ;)

Hey , big thanx lads for all your replies. I got the wheel repaired yeterday. When I said the wheel was buckled what I really meant was that the rim had "bulges" in it :( , anyway they were more than 2mm so i failed the MOT, so I took it to a local tyre place called Bromley Tyres in Warrington, the nice man there took the tyre off and put the rim into a "press" and hey presto all 4 bulges gone :D .Only charged me £25 as well!! So feck DK spares who wanted £140 plus VAT for a used one. :eek: JUst goes to prove though that most bikes are worth more as parts than complete :confused:

[Mr Cake]

Bromley Tyres in Warrington

Where exactly in Warrington is that? I'm in town in the week and wouldn't mind getting my rim straightened.

Dave, Bromley tyres are on Knutsford rd on the Black bear bridge, just through Latchford on the road into the town centre.
