How much is it wonky?
Unless the rim is visibly kinked or bent, it should be possible to straighten it by adjusting / re-tensioning the spokes.

I'm looking to remove the round headlight from my 640 and replace with the standard layout. Does anyone have an Armstrong speedo and also a mounting panel (HD or Armstrong will do) I also need the headlamp brackets. (I have an Armstrong h'light cowl, but MT350 forks, so whatever brackets will fit.) ...

A little something just sent. Thanks for maintaining a great forum.

What a chancer! It does set me thinking, though. Has anyone transplanted a diesel engine into an MT? There are lots of Enfields with oil-burners fitted, ranging from pathetic dumper-truck single cylinder engines to larger twin cylinder jobs that will cruise at 70 easily and do over 80mpg at the same...
