Check at some of your local dealerships. I see painless dent guys in the lots all the time fixing things.

I am slowly getting the parts together to rebuild the bike and motor. But cash is in short supply and right now both of my knees are terrible and am going for MRIs soon. But I'll keep at it. Chris

Are you referring to the rims? They look like HD stuff. But to be fair anything can be Kz1000 with mods.

No, zoom on the spokes in the front hub, the bend is .25 inches from the hub, Maybe more. If used and someone grabs the front brake the hub will stop and the spokes will straighten and break at that bend!! That bend should be right against the hub. Look at any spoked wheel and you'll see the spoke is against the hub not a Quarter Inch away from the hub. Looks like when the spoke nuts were tightened the whole spoke is bent because its pulling from .25" away from the hub. This guy says he has sold hundreds of these OMG!! Here's a better pic from the guys ebay ad. Chris

It will lower compression. You could jump up to 13.5-1 pistons and your final compression would be about 10.5-1
