Unfortunately I got a link to a Yamaha MT site and the news on the rim fabricator was not encouraging. Maybe by now the technique for remanufacture is better.

First Permanent ride the Z1R since Dec1977 (220,000km) as of June 2015
Second permanent bike 1989 FJ1200 dyno'd 140RWH, great bike.
Third ride is now the Frankenstein 1981 GPZ1100B1, 1983 fully recon motor fitted LOVE THIS BIKE
Forth my work bike FJ1200 1989 (same type as FJ above)

That's the "TIT's" Man! Always seen the avatar, But these pictures do it justice!
Reminds of Of poor Ol' Jack (RIP) from Canada who built the beautiful Z1R blue drag bike.
Very nice and detailed.
Your back wheel? Is that a double weld? I had a stock enki & DID double weld built by the infamous "Puppet" years ago. Sorry that I sold it at an IDBA race, during the divorce stage.
But one bad ass machine! I bet that gets respect where ever it goes with ALL the biker crowds!
