Not solved yet. I have moved on to Sendai since I was led to believe that it would be easier to solve here, but since arriving so many people have recommended stuff in Aomori I wish I had stayed there
That wheel from the 400 is no good unfortunately. It may fit but I need a dual disc version.
The Honda dealership here can rebuild it with a new rim but they want to do it in a very main-dealer-ish way. That is, 10 times the price it should be and using only genuine replacement parts. They want to get new spokes sent over from Italy.
Someone else sent through a list of garages in Sendai and other cities last night so I will spend the day visiting them before maybe moving on to Tokyo. I can get hold of the rim easily enough but I never thought finding someone to make a set of spokes would be this difficult.
