    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can someone help me identify this wheel??? I got it in a trailer of parts and have no idea what it is , im
thinking to maybe use for a bobber project
Thanks again guys







 
Errrrmmmmm.... sorry, not ringing any bells in my Suzuki/Honda brain cells.

Took me a minute to notice it's a 21" wheel.
The grease zerk below the axle is interesting.

Are the threads in the cable fittings, etc. metric?
Any markings at all on or in the hub? There may be some markings somewhere on the rim, too.

Bikes are dangerous enough without riding on some crappy handling bobber with brakes out of the 1940's.
 
Look inside. You may find some info like a manufacturer logo cast into the hub.
 
After some thinking last night I am not going to build a bobber. I agree with ED it came with a matching back spoke wheel and I realized the L frame I wanted to use also has issues.
 
Still, it might be worth figuring out what it is. Could mean a few bucks on fleaBay. Are the bearings inch or metric?

+1. You never know what something might be worth to someone else. If that is something special it might finance a good chunk of another project.

I rubbed the cobwebs off the outer lip and it's a Takasago 21" 160ax21" wheel 3j103 I listed it on Craigslist local and a guy offered me $40 for it :confused:

That's the rim. You might want to try to inspect the hub closer to see if there are any manufacturer's marks.
