1982 CB900f

A few members have these. I have seen them with the "boomerang" style Comstars in gold and wonder whether, aside from the CX500/650 Turbos, such wheels were ever used on Honda models in the U.S.

I registered here right after I got my 900F. They should be able to answer your questions.

I know, but I like to keep my memberships to various sites minimal. It's more fun to network with the folks here.

I never remember any Honda, in the U.S., with those wheels, other than the "turbo's. I sure wish I had a set for my 1100 F, original stuff, but different over here.

Yes, it is the CB1100f overseas that had me wondering:

Canadian 1983 CB1100F had the gold Boomerang wheels. 18" front, 17" rear.
Canadian '83/'84 CX650E had silver Boomerang wheels. 18" front and rear.

Both the turbos and CX were shaft drive.

On the 1100F site a pair from Europe show up occasionally in the $400 range.
Euro VF750/1000F '83-'85?

IMO, the Canadian version of the 1100f was so much cooler than the US version. The gold wheels, omitted fairing and CBX style gauges made for a better looking bike.

100% agree, and that is the look I plan for the 900.

The question is, are the only ones that could be fitted to my 900 the ones from the Canadian 1100?

The guys I know who change their wheels on CB900F's use CBR600F3 wheels for better brakes and tire sizes

[GS1150Pilot]

I've seen such swaps. For the GS, swapping in GSX-R wheels was the way toward what I wanted. For the 900, I want it to be an alternative but mostly period correct machine.

Or a European 1100F if you want plug and play. We also had 900s with silver boomerang wheels and, of course, they'll fit. The VF wheels are a different size (or were here).

[GS1150Pilot]

I want swap right in fit, so it'll have to be the Euronadian 1100f as a donor.

Here's one in Germany:

Ebay.de will be your best bet for hunting in Europe; the 1100 was a very rare beast in the UK. I've only seen 2 over here and I owned one of them.

That's not a terrible price. Shipping'd probably be a b1tch, but I'm going to do this one from the ground up, so fair's fair.
