Do you have any contacts or prices for anyone who would do the relining?

Good point Brian, as a whole assembly with the backplate the 500 does swap right over, best to keep the backplate with the correct wheel as I found on my 550k3's that a rear wheel supposedly off a 550f wouldn't transfer across due to differet backplates. Being in need of the bike I did find carefully removing some of the diameter of my old backplate with a grindstone. These days it is easier to just look up differences and buy the right bit. Since the cb650 comstar backplate takes the same shoes, I suspect buying a random 500 or 550 wheel would give a 50% chance of being able to use that backplate.

Search the forum I put up his details a few years ago, Paul Jackson I think the name is. Huddersfield. I have not used him myself but there are a lot of very good reports. It is a job I have done diy on my bikes, but as I am no engineer and this guy does them so cheap I would definitely be the place I would recommend.

This may be the moment bwhen I feel like an idiot, but the PO gave me a rear wheel with the bike that he said he thought was from some dirt bike he'd had in the past, and I thought I might flog it on ebay. Never paid any more attention to it, but dug it up today and I think it might actually be the rear! Is there any way to make a positive ID?
