wait til you take that front end apart and find bent forks. that wheel is bent up pretty good, i bet that impact went right on up and did more damage than you think. experience talking, i had to replace my forks.

I had a certified honda tech to house and he massaged forks and said all looked well. I did some measurements and seemed to appear fine. I just hope there is no hidden horrors learking underneath either? Time will tell I guess. Hope rotors fine also. Time will tell all I guess! In meantime will just keep fingers crossed.

Default Rim Answers.

Your dented rim is most likely off a CBR600RR. I say this because its a direct bolt on. No messing around with swapping the bearings, seals or spacers. It has the same RC51 22mm axle unlike the 929, 954 and 1000's that use the 25mm axle.

I just bolted on a 05/06 CBR600RR rim since it looks like the lightest of the bunch. Other then that all RC wheels are interchangeable.

P.S. The RC 320mm rotors bolt right on to all CBR wheels.

I have/had a 600rr front wheel on mine using SP2 wheel spacer and it was binding my forks up. switched back to my SP2 front wheel and all is fine now. So what spacers are you running? I would prefer the lighter front wheel but couldn't find a solid answer on what spacers I needed to make it sit in there right.

and to 00RC51 because of my front wheel mishap(spacer issue) I no longer have a front wheel available till I get the spacers issue sorted out.

and where in MN are you? I would like to take a look at your swingarm to see how bad it is in person.

Swingarm is fine other than the spool nut on swingarm got tore off and is just a matter of welding it back on. Was just spool nut and doesn't hinder anything other than getting bike up on stand.

That would help me out also. Need swingarm spool nut welded back on and and maybe fix subframe if possible but if I can get a used straight one for $70 total is it even worth messing with? Thanks

$70 is good. Save the fixing headache and get the used one.

I would think if some welder fixed it he would want atleast $50 for work. So I figured this saves me drive time and welding labor and costs etc. Will maybe try to straighten mine and sell it once I am up and riding. I am gonna buy working parts and ride now and then fix my broken stuff this winter and keep as spares or sell later.

Here is a update on all the parts I have found so far.
1.) Headlights
2.) front rim
3.) subframe I am pretty sure. (waiting a reply)
4.) stock rearsets
5.) guage cluster
6.) debating snorkel @ $75 plus shipping used. I only need half of snorkel which bolts to frame. FAIR PRICE???

Here are my needed parts still
1.) front cowl
2.) inner cowl for front cowl mounts below headlights
3.) Fairing stay for front cowl (I want sp2 aluminum one) Bird cage thing.
4.) fairing bracket that mounts on subframe for tail by leg for big screw tail.
5.) smoked double bubble windshield in good shape
6.) stabilizier maybe
7.) Hid lights
8.) aftermarket rear sets

I had a good look at my 05/06 CBR600RR front wheel and everything matches up with the SP1 wheels (minus 3 spokes). Hub cross section size is the same with and without the RC spacers. I'm using aluminum spacers for weight savings (lol) but they are the same SP1 9mm and 16.7mm versus the 16.5mm stock part. I very much doubt the 0.2mm more is going to make a difference but you never know. I'm also running SP2 forks in a SP1 triple. How's that for Frankenstein! At this point your guess is as good as mine on the binding.
