    Hey all, first post in the forum (wealth of knowledge here <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> ).

    Here's the story, I picked up a 3LN3 about 2 months ago for $1800, had a few minor problems, which I've sorted out.

    The only problem I couldn't sort out myself was a dent in the front rim, so I took the rim to a wheel / rim specialist to get fixed, however they informed me that there was a hairline crack in the wheel and that they would not work on it.

    So now I've got my new (and first) bike running fantastically..... with no front wheel. <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

    Now, I'm assuming that you can't simply weld up the crack or similar (correct me if I'm wrong), it just sounds too unsafe.

    So I'm looking for a 3LN3 front rim (or any FZR250 rim that'll fit) with dual brake rotors.
    Can't seem to find any at the local wreckers, the best I found was this: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.importmc.com.au/cms/Bikes/Wrecking/Wrecking.htm">http://www.importmc.com.au/cms/Bikes/Wr ... ecking.htm</a><!-- m --> .

    So I was wondering if anyone was looking to part with one? or lead me to a wrecker in Adelaide, Australia.

    btw, I've already posted a question to the website above and am awaiting a reply, will post back here to inform everyone of the reply.

    So to sum up... I need a wheel. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

    Thanks,

    Good site for parts

    Hey all,
    Just giving an update on parts searching in case it helps anyone in the future.

    I looked all over the net (and rung a heap of wreckers in Adelaide, to no avail) and found the best website was: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.findapart.com.au/">http://www.findapart.com.au/</a><!-- m -->
    They send out your inquiry to a bunch of wreckers who respond with quotes etc.
    Got back some good quotes (the best being from importmc.com.au, who I'd already contacted <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> )

    Anyway, just thought I'd share a good spot to search for parts.
