Well,

The front rim and a rock did not see eye to eye and the rock won. Smashed the outer rolled edge into the bead seat area. My shop of choice says better replace it to be on the safe side, especially being on the front. They can't source the O.E. wheel and I am not so keen on giving my local Kawasaki dealer my business (don't even get me started!). Any Ideas on where to source a O.E. front wheel or have any of you upgraded wheels and want to part with a used one?

Thanks

 

Have you tried looking up the p/n on buykawasaki.com and then taking the p/n to www.ronayers.com for a discount?

My kawasaki wheels are only $69. Not a big deal. Cheaper quality than douglas, but not yamaha expensive.

Douglas makes a wide variety of wheels. I luv my douglas wheels. You might try to replace the stockers with them. If the V uses a size that another kawasaki uses, then douglas probably has it. If it is new, you might be stuck with stock.

 

The V Force is supposed to be the same as a Honda 400ex, so finding aftermarket wheels will be no problem. If NYROC is right and the Kawasaki wheels are only $69.00, that is the way to go so you will have a matched set. Good luck.
