my 1977 R100/7 w/ 74,000 on the clock. A pleasure to own and a pleasure to ride. I continually find myself dreaming up more reasons to take a ride. Even lame reasons sound good to me!

Damn, you're right. That sure looks like a pre-recall snowflake. Good eye.

Hmmm...is that "pre-recall" or "recall"? A pre-recall wheel would be just fine, right? Just sayin!...Damn, you're right. That sure looks like a pre-recall snowflake. Good eye.

The wheel is indeed a non- buttressed unit. I have done a very close inspection of the spokes looking for any sign of cracking, but found none. Is there a specific place where the crack?

my 78 was in the recall, should be covered, cracks were to have happened were the spokes met the hub...

How does one get a replacement wheel, at this late date? Is there a cost?

I just picked up a set of old Krausers for my LWB /5. There isn't more than about the thickness of a finger between the bottoms of the cases and the mufflers; not enough to even install Krauser Heat Shields.
It looks like this set-up is about the same.... yes? No? I'm asking... . .And anyone else wo may want to chime in.
