83 front wheel

[sledge]

i built a Trike out of my 1980 1100 a couple years ago . it has the Factory Comstar front wheel on it , and turning a Trike puts a lot of force on the front wheel , although my front wheel looks fine , i worry about it working the brads loose where its put together . i would like to have a Cast Aluminum 83 front wheel . anybody got one they would think about trading on ?? or one you would sell for a good price ?? opcorn:

well sledge the 83 1100 wheels are in quite demand as potential bike builds as in looks as in eye candy ...but as you said and i agree i have never had one give any problem what so ever ... ive actually seen more problems personally with the cast wheels ... i have two broken wheels here one a 1200 cast front wheel and the other is a 83 1100 cast wheel .. but both were wreck bike deals i have also seen the part cast rotors break rather easy too compared to the all steel rotors ones of earlier years

Maybe longer forks and smaller wheel will increase rake enough to ease handling?

I haven't checked these folks out yet but from what I can see of his prices, it's not a bad deal and could solve your problem with the rake rather easily. I didn't see that he had made any for the gold wings but he does make them for several other Honda models. I think they were priced around 250.00 if my memory is right. https://www.facebook.com/SprocketwerxMotorsports

well.......I might just be worried about nothing....... and I could always keep an Eye on the stock Comstar front wheel.

If a rivet gets a black greasy ring it's loose. Until then no worries.
