Just a PSA for a guy who is selling new mag wheels for the CARC bikes on eBay.
Since I've now bent 2 rear wheels on my 1200 Sport as well as one front, this was a great find for me. The price was reasonable at $200 as it cost me over $100 to have my front straightened last time (front wheels are cheaper).
This one is the dark grey like on my 1200 Sport but I think they have some of the silver as well:

I know the one I received today shows no sign of ever being mounted on a bike or having a tire on it. There is no valve stem or brake rotor but I still have my first bent wheel to take those parts from.
Here's a pic of the first wheel I bent hitting a large pothole at high speed, I had to beat it back into shape with a rock on the side of the road as it was hitting the swingarm:
The current bent wheel is not as obvious and I only noticed it when mounting a new tire.
