Wanted - Pentagram rear wheel

[scott s]

Looking for a REAR Yamaha Pentagram wheel. It should be an 18" wheel for disc brake.

Is this what you're looking for? (wheel on the left)

They came with the XS650 that I bought but I wasn't sure if they were for a Yamaha or not. I think the front wheel is from a GS1100E Suzuki.

Anyways I have the rear wheel with the disc on it if that's what you need. LMK,

Mark

IIRC the top post wheels were a "back in the day" aftermarket wheel, perhaps offered in the Yamaha parts catalog, then, rare item. I have only seen pictures.

There's thread about them somewhere.

XSFazz, that's a Suzuki wheel.

Gggary is on the right path. I know they're rare, but it's worth a shot to put out feelers. Maybe someone will run across one at a swap meet or junkyard some day.

XSFazz, that's a Suzuki wheel.

Ah, thought so but wasn't positive as they look kinda similar. Good to know, thanks!

Edit: From that link you posted about the motherload thread, there was a picture of the Suzuki wheel side-by-side with the Yamaha wheel. Mann, why couldn't I have the Yamaha wheel!? Now I want them! haha

Bump....still looking for an 18" rear wheel.

I am in the same boat Scott, I have a front & have been looking for a rear. There was one on ebay recently, but the $400 asking price was a little steep for me. Good luck.

 

[scott s]

How was it listed? I've been sorta kinda watching eBay and haven't seen any listed.

 

[gggGary]
