These are really sweet Inde! Wish I had the coin right now. The closest aftermarket wheels avail are nearly twice that now. All the best man! I'll let you know if my drill hits oil in the next day or so.

Thanks Doug! I priced them at about half of retail, as I'm getting sick of seeing sitting on our guest bed going to waste. If you were dead serious on wanting them I could set them aside for you... I don't have a problem with that. How much time do you need... a month?

Weight reduction question...
 

Hey, I'm sorry that I'm not able to persue your advertised aftermarket wheels - they are very attractive...
But I am curious, how much weight reduction were you able to gain from these front and rear wheels, and how did those weights compare to the stock rims?

I'll check to Inde's KB on this but I think it's about 8 lbs per wheel. When you do the 530 chain conversion with this change it dynamically effects the roadability of the bike. It's markedly smoother because you're not lashing around all that weight.

The guest bed is not going to grow an engine. My endorsement is about you as a seller and to provide some basis for younger owners that are shopping for wheels too. Hella yeah, bro they would be mine in a moment - I gotta figure out what I do with the other three sets.

I'm not sure what the stock VTR wheels wheigh in at, but I did snap a photo of each Carrozzeria wheel on the scale...

Hey Inderocker, Those are what I've been waiting for. PM sent

Even have a good scale to weigh 'em in at; very cool. Thank you for sharing Indie'.

The stockers is 12 something and 9 and a half something I believe...

Man I would LOVE to have those.

Thanks for offering the good deal

Weight doesn't tell half the story.

The real reduction is in the moment of inertia - a measure of the resistance of the wheel to rotational acceleration.

It will be a much bigger change than the wieght reduction would indicate. I posted a link to a Sport Rider article a while back with some good wheel comparisons.

Actually since my memory is pretty bad... That could be my CBR 1000RR / CBR 600 RR wheels and not the stockers... Which then would be even heavier... But I'm not sure...

Either way the difference from stock to CBR front wheel was almost 2 lbs... And it's noticable...

Hmm, knee surgery or nice wheels, HMMM

I really wanna pick these up, but its not worth being crippled for the rest of my life.

you dont need any special fabrication do you Inderocker??

How about a braced swingarm???

very sweet. I wish I still had all SH wheels I would buy them now.

I know that the stock RC51 front without discs is 10.5, rear with cush drive (and a disc however,) is 19. And the stock RC51 are significantly lighter than stock SH wheels, so I'd say this is a major weight reduction plus the MOI that RCVTR mentions.

good luck

Veeeery tempting. :drool: If they stay on ebay for a couple of days I may just give up to the animal instinct and kill my wallet for them.

No, I don't need a braced swingarm ;) But I think I may speak for a lot of Super Hawk owners when I say that someone needs to make an aluminum replacement for the rear brake hose guides and the plastic choke cable nuts.

I just bought these wheels from another seller. THEY ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY. I had them at Texas World Speedway to do a test day before the race next week and they are incredible it makes the bike feel so much lighter on turn in, the braking is twice a good with stockers. the drive off the corner is massive the bike will spin the tire now. lots of pretty power wheelies of exit. and the what was best for me is you can really feel the tire, feedback is great the tires give you so much more info. if you have problems getting to full lean you won't any more. I almost ran off the inside of the track the bike turned so well.

I can't believe no one has bought these yet. If I didn't have my PVMs I'd be all over this. What a deal!

I agree. for all the performance hop ups you can do, excluding perhaps suspension, but certainly anything engine related, you will notice the biggest different from upgrading wheels.

I want these wheels SO SO bad.

these give me a chubby.

Man those wheels are SWEET!! Would look sexay on the hawk!

Me either! :p

man if these were for sale 2 months earlier i would have been all over them. I just spent ~300 on 900rr/f3 wheels and 220 on powdercoating....err...

Thought Yamadog was buying these

As far as the forum goes, he's first in line, but there's no money in my account so the auction is still up. I' m pretty 90% positive he'll pay but until that happens...

gotta figure too that those really don't cost that much since you can get money for selling the wheels you'd be replacing.

inde. just bought your wheels. Thanks, nathan
