    So my Comstars were looking kind bad... 64,000 have taken it's toll. I found a place through Iconic that restored a couple of sets of wheels off VF1000r's.... they looked good so I sent my wheels in.

    Not bad I say..... thumbnail_IMG_0983.jpg thumbnail_IMG_0986.jpg thumbnail_IMG_0991.jpg thumbnail_IMG_0993.jpg thumbnail_IMG_0994.jpg

    Thank you Mike…
    Wheel is taken apart… rim and “spokes” are powered coated. Hub is cleaned and painted. Wheel assembled with new bolts and new bearings installed.
    PS… disk drilled by TrueDisk…

    I've talked to the TrueDisk dude. Good stuff.

    Those look like factory one way bolts?

    OOO slick yo! I used to dislike Comstar look, but now I would be stoked to find some. Although I don't really have a bike that they would go on. lol

    Those look great dude!!

    Since we are on wheels, how firm (read old) before we toss out old cush drives and replace?

    In my experience old cush drive rubbers usually pack down with age and become obvious by the slop created. A cheap man like myself would pack out the slop using bits of inner tube cut to size.
