XT600E 4PT new wheels or repairs needed in Vancouver

Hi all,

My XT is in a crate going to Vancouver. Both wheels are pretty badly banged up. It might be possible to repair them, but I doubt it.

So I need to find somewhere in or near Vancouver to get new wheels.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Al

In 2007 I used "North Shore Suzuki", 1395 Mainstreet, North Vancouver.
Easy to find - after crossing "Sekond Narrows Bridge" from south turn left.
After crossing Siberia I have a small damage on my Suzuki DL 650, and they did a great job.
Good luck!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
