Me neither!

Check your goodie pile wheels and report back on the sizes :)

Nothing like empirical evidence to settle any sort of disagreement ;)

Just me Mike I know....but if this looks and works as good as I think it will.... I could care less if Lambretta made the rims or they came off a WWII half tracks. The heritage of these rims is good to know...dont get me wrong, but once past them fitting....the final outcome and look is the real test.

Those black rims with a Honda MotoGP style red stripe on a red early model....my prediction is this has the potential to be "the rim look" that has escaped all the near stock early model modifications for 30 years.

Good due diligence on finding all this Don......cant wait to see them on your bike. Keep us informed about the progress.

Thanks Mike!

Now we know for sure that any 1100R wheels we might find will be good candidates for a CBX as well . . . . assuming you like the gold

Well.. :oops: :oops: Last night, I went over to the guy who bought my 1100Rd for another reason and looked at the rear wheel....it is a 3.00-18 :shock: :shock: I called my buddy Frank immediately who has a 1100Rd also and had him check....his rear wheel is a 3.00-18.

Summary:( :wink: ) I have no idea where the wheel I have is from. It came with a load of CB1100R parts together with the 2.50-18 front. Sorry, Don. :roll:

Hello

I know this is an old thread but was wondering if you still have the 3.5 wheel or know of its whereabouts?
I am looking for one for my CB1100R.

Regards
