Bent rear wheel

I have a stock 79 cbx, The rear wheel has a slight wobble when running on the center stand. Does anyone straighten these wheels, or is there a replacement?

Thanks Brent

Brent, Go to www.cbxman.com , They are great people and in addition to everything else offers the service you require. I copied the following off the web site

"CBXMan.com Wheel Straightening Program At CBXman.com just because your wheel is bent there is no need to replace it. We can straighten and if necessary repaint the wheels from any motorcycle.

The cost to straighten a wheel runs from $125 to $150 per wheel depending on the severity of the damage.

There is no charge for wheels that are so badly bent that they cannot be straightened. Turn around time runs from 2 to 4 weeks. Wheel painting is available at an extra cost. Tell us what you have in mind and we?ll quote you a price. Send us an email for information about our wheel straightening and repainting program."

Enjoy!

Rich

Friend of mine, in St. Albert Alberta Canada, just had his rear rim straightened at CycleWorks in Edmonton. It had a WICKED

wobble to it! Cost was $60 Cdn ( freebie in US dollars

) and it was done that afternoon while he waited for it.

Gentleman there says he sees LOTS of bent CBX rims due to incorrect tire pressure, espicially after the first spring ride.

Check around.... there should be places near you.

Hey there man, I am about to pull the rear wheel of my 79 X and sell it because it is an obsolete part being way too big in diameter and too narrow for a good tire.

I will sell the wheel for $100.00 plus shipping.
