Post by: daz on January 30, 2021, 12:19:33 PM

Hi, I have a set of Borrani wheels, are they anything special? Thanks for any advice, Darren

It will only be the rims that are Borrani, alloy rims were a popular extra back in the day for these old Honda's, but as to value these days probably not much, as most people rebuild to standard rims. You MAY get a bit for them on e bay or similar if someone is doing a cafe racer build or similar, but to be honest the hubs if good are worth far more!

Hi Bryan, they are off a CB550 k3, unfortunately they are being sold with a CB550 k3 project bike I am selling,  trying to sell some stuff off I have collected over the years.

Cheers Darren

Few years ago since I built the CR750 rep but used Borrani reprica's from Italy (a recommendation off the forum) - here's an example off ebay - not the right size but its an example
