Greetings all. I am trying to source a GXR 17"X5.5 rear wheel. I live in east central Alabama. There is a motorcycle savage yard about 20 miles from me but it has been closed due to the owners death. I have tried without any luck in finding out who will inherit all of the parts. The next closest place is in Tifton GA but all of the reviews I read about them are not good. In fact they are down right horrible.
I have a 89 Fj1200 and have installed the RPM rear shock as well as rebuilt the front forks with the RPM valves. The handling is AMAZING now. It's like a totally different bike. I need the rear wheel so I can get some good rubber to the road.
Any information will be most appreciated.
Thanks
Fred is a good resource for finding this kind of stuff. Calling in Avationfred....
+1 Yea, I've never figured out Fred's voodoo on how he does it....
Here is a GSXR 1100 rear wheel that will work. It does have straight spokes. I am close to doing a GSXR rear wheel install myself. Here is a photo of the 1998 GSXR1100 rear that I will be installing.
Here is the eBay link for the wheel that is available.

I will see if I can find a curved wheel version.

This wheel has the curved spokes that more closely matches the FJ wheels.
