    Hah, you and me both buddy, I just got mine two days ago along with my oil filter. I'm in the same boat as you, got one part down, only a couple more to go! All I need is my jet kit (ordered today), ignition advancer, and yoshi exhaust. What year is your bike?

          Mine's a 2000 but only a 600. Wish I had a pic to show but I never took one before I tore it down. Reason I didn't take a pic is cuz it wasn't worth possibly damaging my camera...it was a sore sight to the eyes...I bought it off my buddy for 500 bucks cuz he moved and it was just taking up room in his dads garage. Apparently the PO thought it would look good spray painted maroon red and had set the idle at like 4500 rpm's lol. Gettin a new paint job soon so once I get her all together again I'll throw you some pics. That's a nice looking bike you've got there though. Any kind of mods?

            mines a 96 and well lets just say its been sitting for at least a year before I bought it and after the PO dropped it he primer spray painted it. Looks like **** and I have to correct his **** ups. I would of preferred a rashed stock paint job.

                    no, no mods, i havent even ridden it yet. I bought it with that bent front wheel. ive actually Anti modded it LOL. I added the rear fender back on since someone cut the last one off. I just want stock for now, My last bike was a modded cruiser, it was un godly loud and i had to get rid of it. So i decided i wanted the most stock looking running bike for now since it will become my daily driver and give my dodge ram a break. I drive 350 miles a week just to and from work, plus another 250 on weekends to and from getting my kid, so yeahhhh. I need to park the truck for a while to save some money!
                    When you get some pics, post um up mikey

                      okay i called rad cycles, they said yeah that had a 98-02 front rim, it would be $250.
                      Does that seem a little high? Input?

                        Is it chromed?... if so, not bad.

                        If it's powdercoated, your looking at spending that amount again to get it chromed.

                          The lady didnt even say. She was like yeah we got that, its 250. I was like umm okay. I didnt even bother to ask. Hmm, well i diffinately dont want to spend that kinda money on one. I paid $180 for the chrome wheel and tire i have now, was hopeing to be under $200 for another rim

                            Have you sold your 03 wheel and tire yet? You could use that to help pay for the one you need...

                            I think 250 is a little pricey. I knew Rad Cycles was pricey with engines, but I didn't think they were over-priced on everything.

                            You could try www.mrcycleparts.com

                            I sent them a request for 88-89 GSXR 750 cams, and 2 salvage yards responded. I ended up buying a set off of Ebay, but that site might help you.

                            I just searched ebay for a front wheel. If you needed a rear wheel, you'd be in luck. Maybe you could ask some of the sellers who are selling a rear wheel if they have a front for sale.....
