Default So, whose got it?

Well just bought my first bike. 98 GSX-R 750 and I got one hell of a deal on it. And of course there are a few issues with it but nothing major, especially with what I payed for it. So first things first. Front rim is warped, not horribly bad, it rides, but you feel it when you use the front break.. So who has some rimes sitting around they want to sell? I need front and back so they atleast match.

We thought the same thing, but with my bike, while you are riding you can dlook down between the forks and watch the tire wobble. So it seems more like the rim than the rotors, could very well be wrong...but I hate the rims anyway...they were painted yellow....with...sparkles..
