Have you tried a Kawasaki dealership? It would be pricey, but might bear checking out.

Thanks guys,
I'm looking for a new wheel assembly, but cant seem to find one assembled, only the parts.
I guess I'll have to find someone to lace and true a new hoop like Troll said.

Check this item # Item number: 180890773432 on EBay; might do you, price is right.

Good luck;

Regards and such,

I just did a little checking about that difference in brakes, and you are right, but the wheel rim, itself should be the same...3.00x16. Much cheaper to replace the hoop than the whole thing, if you know someone who knows how to lace and true a wheel. Getting to be a lost art, I'm afraid.

the split in the tire is from it rubbing on the inner finder mounts, the bead of the tire was no longer holding to the rim at that spot causing the tire to bulge out and rub.

this is only on the right side.

I haven't double checked but I was told the other 800 vulcans had drum brakes and the drifter has rear disk...  I will check tonight when I get home.

I'm about 99% sure that this wheel is the same as any 800 Vulcan...

Does any one know where I can get a rear wheel assembly?
My wife and I just got back from North Carolina and had a great time until...
We were about 80 miles south of Robinsville NC and I started feeling a lump in one of my tires so we pulled over and I find this...


I was riding Solo with only about 25# max of stuff in the bags and don't remember hitting anything other than the normal occasional pothole and bump.
So as you can see I'm in need of a rear wheel.  :(

Also a big THANK YOU to Flat Broke Customs of Ellijay, GA  these guys not only stayed on the phone for a couple of hours trying to find me a wheel with no luck, they carried us to the U-haul place, where we rented a box truck to get home, then they loaded the bikes and strapped them down for us. I cant say thank you enough!!!
