Guys,
I need some help
I posted several weeks ago, "Wow" where I was in an accident with a drive shaft from a large semi. Bent both wheels, My dealer says there are no rear wheels available in the States.

They are on National back-order from Kawasaki and it could be months ???

Where can I get a rear wheel? "2008 Nomad" ????

Kaw has no 1600 rear wheel assemblies available in the states? That's unacceptable.

Krash, Wow, thats a good deal.
There are numerous used part companies around, you could look them up as well.

I work in a body shop. Imagine having hood hinges for a 2005 Camry on backorder for 4 weeks from Toyota. Talk about a crappy reason for holding up a job!
I say that just to show that in the current state of low inventory levels, virtually every manufacturer runs into this from time to time.

Start calling the larger dealers and see if someone has one in stock, although Ebay is probably your best shot. Why not try and see if Canada has stock on them as well.

Should be able to get wheels from Dennis Kirk, Jake Wilson or Cheap Cycle Parts. Someone should have them. It might cost you though. I know those things are expensive.

Have you tried the salvage yards? There is a place in Plaistow, N.H. I've seen advertised, It's called Rick's. I do not know anything about them, sorry.
