Nice, what did that set you back? And have they said how much shipping to nz would be?

Will let you know when I find out.

Having a bit of a clean out. Got old damaged body work from my RVF. Pretty much every piece is damaged in some way, but might be suitable for spares. Any takers?

[ecko_nzed]

And some more.

If only I had an RVF to put it on :-P

Cost me about $350 so far. If they can ship it here for less than $250 I will be happy! A wheel from the UK was going to cost around $800. I didn't want to pay more than $700. Crazy money for a wheel but they are impossible to find. It will be just my luck that one will pop up much cheaper over here now
My major worry is the condition of the wheel. I really do hope it is straight!

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the main benefit of this wheel? Different size?

17" instead of 18"

Gives a few more options when choosing tyres.

[Icemaestro]

just a few :-P on the 18" there are 3 options, 17" is standard these days, oodles of choices...

Ok, I thought the swap of choice is for the RVF rear? Guessing they share the same wheel

Yeah tyre choice is rather limited with these VFR's.

RVF and MC28 share the same rear wheel.

RVF and MC28 share the same rear wheel.

Wheelie? Haha. Glad you found one mate, I will no doubt end up hunting for one if ever I purchase an NC30.

$118 NZD to ship it

Total cost just under $500.

I really fkn hope I got the right wheel and it is straight and true

[sil3nt]

Just received my GST bill. Forgot anything over $400 will get stung with this.

$116.34

So total cost is somewhere around $600. Still happy with that!


Also my forks came back from KSS. Exciting times.

I wonder if japamart would be sneaky and chuck a gift invoice in there or something if you asked....as they are second hand goods...

[Icemaestro]

what do you reckon shipping is on this?
