Help! Spare rear rim for an 06 gsxr-600?

[bostongixxer]

Here's the deal...I've been out of commission (as has my bike) since May 11 when an ubertool took me (and another guy) out in T3 making, as Degsy described it, a "hail mary" pass. I nursed an injured leg for 7 weeks and am finally ready to get back to the track. However, I've been unable to find a rear rim for my gsxr-600 (original was destroyed in my crash). I had a rim from ebay that I recently purchased and gave to Degs to replace, but the a-hole who sold it sent me an 05, even though he advertised an 06. Now I'm without a rim and screwed...I'm trying to make the open practice on Friday to get my track legs back. I also am signed up for the 9/3 fishtail school.

Anyone have a spare rim that will work that I can borrow (or buy??) for at least Friday's practice? I'm hoping someone up there can help me swap the tire and sprocket (I'm not very mechanically inclined) up there. Just a thought at this point.

Got you covered there, bud. Oh wait... "up there" is the track...
If you find something sooner. I can give you a hand...

I'll be up there early friday with stands and tools, and would be happy to help. as far as the rim goes I was going to offer you my 05 gsxr rim for the weekend but I see that's no good. If a rim from an 04 Aprilia RSVR works you're welcome to my rain rim. I'll keep my eyes open for an 06 rim. Good to see you are making it back up there.

Thanks Mike, Burnham. I'm considering my options now.

i have 2 sets... i'll be there for practice. Have spare fronts to sell, but the rear has my rain... I can lend it to you for practice if you take responsibility for any potential damage.

There's also another set on WERA w/tires+rotors for the same money.
