My brother in law worked for the local Yamaha dealer for several years. While working there, he purchased a year old 1974 650 with 900 miles on the odometer. At some point that year, the dealer gave him a set of Shelby Dowd wheels for the 650. He mounted new Dunlop tires on the wheels and...
Purchased a Harley rim and hub and it was an excellent transaction. Great communication, well packaged and fast shipping. He has high ninja or origami skills creating boxes out of ordinary cardboard. Worth the purchase just to see the package.
