Looking for a rear wheel off a VFR800. Only interested in the 5.5" wide rim.
I'll even consider a forged carrozzeria wheel if you happen to have one lying around [:p]

Cheers
Rob

Trying to get the rear suspension right is bloody hard with all that weight in the rear. The car wheel and tyre combo weighs almost 20kg so that's a shedload of unsprung weight for the shock to deal with (have a new elka shock on the way though so that should improve things markedly).

Thinking that two rear wheels might be the way to go depending on my mood :)
