Got the back rim back from the truer and he said he corrected the vertical misalignment but had to much hortz to get perfect. There was .060 off on 1 side and he split the difference between both sides. Ha what a joke. With the bike on the stand I can actually see the tire weaving back and forth now where I barely noticed it prior. Also in second to third gear it weaves so much the back fender starts shaking.Not a comfortable feeling so the bike stays on the stand until I get this issue resolved.Looks like I may be needing a new back rim that is not bent. Any spoke wheels out there that are in better than mine condition. My honda would be very grateful. It thinks it is being punished for being to loud or something.I sure would hate to give it a complex,make it think its a harley or something. Thanks guys for any help.Enjoy.

Had the same problem with mine,,, Honda replaced em. If you are still under warranty check it out.

 

[dizzydean_61]

no warranty on my own with this.

forgot to add that I was looking to buy a wheel. I also have a retro cast withoout the rotor that I would be willing to trade and it still has the tire on it in good shape.

If you have a cast rear why dont you get a cast front and get out of the spokes? More and better tire selection, easier to clean, and looks better (IMO).

just curious, was it something that happened to the rear wheel (accident, etc) or is there something that us S Model owners should be aware of?

I might know of a guy. I'll give him a call on Sunday when I get home :wink:

I bought this one because of the spokes, that was my preference. I did get it used so it must have had a problem that I wasn't aware of. I havent heard of anyone else having this problem with them. I did finally find some nice tires for the spokes,200 for the rear and a 150 for the front. I had bought the cast rear to start the change over but then found the tires sooooooo. Didnt know the rim was going to give me so much trouble. Thanks jon appreciate the help.
