What other Suzuki models share the front wheel w/ the Savage?
(or any other non suzuki bike?)
I'm going on Monday to a bike parts shop/graveyard
to get a new wheel hopefully (and maybe break disc).
I had a small traffic accident w/no injuries or damage
other the fact that I had to hit the sidewalk in order
to avoid a car that ran a red light for no good reason,
now my front wheel is wobbly (I drove it home like that,
sucked) and I was recommended by a friend to keep the
spokes, center and tire but to get a new rim and rebuild
instead of trying to repair it since it's such and important
part of the bike at high speeds and needs to be at 100%.
The disc seem fine but it's a bit rusty and scratched so might
as well look for a new one too while I'm there.
I'm pissed but fine (I landed on the grass and had full gear on)
but the left side of the tank has a small dent (2" oval) from when
it hit the curb, and so be it! new battle scar; everything else is
surprisingly fine. It's a jungle out here!
Part (outside rim alone) is over $250 at the stealership,
out_of_the_question! and I have no way of buying from
ebay and such since I'm doing a sabbatical in Mexico City
right now,the savage was not particularly a popular model
here in the 90's and is just starting to catch on as the S40
these last few years so lets' see if I can find the part.
* Or does anyone have a spare and want to be a lifesaver and
ship it DHL over here?
I can do a direct bank deposit to your
account from here. I'll let you know on monday how my
hunting at the yard went.
Thanks guys.
