Title: Rear Wheel for SRX from RZ500
Post by: guest1832 on June 10, 2014, 05:34:41 AM

Hello all.
I live in Australia and finding it difficult to source  a matching rear rim for my 85 1JK SRX 600.  It is currently running a rear SRX 3-spoke rear rim - 2.75 x 18 which is the correct size but wrong mag design.  I have tracked down a rear rim which correctly matches the front however it is a 3.00 x 18 from a Yamaha RZ500 from the same time.  If anyone knows if this RZ rim with do the job, I would be very appreciative.  Both bikes/rim patterns are from the same period and I can't imagine Yamaha would have produced a different spec rim for either model?
Thanks

Would a rim from a XJ600, XS or YX600 (radian) from the same period work?  I believe they are the same.
