FS: Six Spoke Wheels
 

Both are straight. Front has normal wear, chips and scratches. I just repainted the rear, although it was just with rattle can. Just used a rotor hone on the front rotors so those should be clean and ready to go.

$300 + half of shipping cost.

PM sent.

That's a very loud set of rims...if I hadn't just bought the Duc, I'd be after these...good luck!

A little sanding, some black paint and they'll look good.

SOLD

Dang, I always show up late to the good stuff. I do have a question: are those SH rims, or are they off another model?

F3 front, 900RR rear. search on the forum there is a ton of threads on them

This is what they look like now:

S.I.C.K.!!!

Geez...don't you just hate guys who show off? :D

Lookin' good!
Did you happen to weigh them so we can get some actual comparison with the OEM VTR wheels?


Rex

No I didn't weigh them and they now have their rubber installed. Nice balance though, 0 weight required for the front and 1/2 ounce for the rear.

if anything theyre heavier

No you can't have them back Jay!

I went ahead, bit the bullet and did the ceramic bearings too. Now, without a swingarm stand or a fork stand I have to figure out how I am going to get it up in the air to change the wheels. Any suggestions? I have a Kendon bike lift and perhaps I could throw a strap over the rafter in my garage.

Block and tackle over the rafter is how I would do it.

Damn those are pretty!
I'll trade my swingarm stand, tripple stand AND an electric water pump for them ;)

Naw, I'd probably just break them...

As much as I'd like to have a new trick electric water pump I'll pass. Thanks though :)

I've got drool coming out the corner of the my mouth!:eek:

You better give us a couple of shots with that rubber on em.. ON YOUR BIKE!!!

These look great . May i ask what brand of rear sprocket this is and did you use the stock (900RR) cush drive for the rear wheel ?

They are not mine but that is a Stealth Sprocket and the VTR cush drive and sprocket carrier works in a 900rr rear wheel.

Probably a stupid question , but are they painted or powder coated? Does any one have any ideas on which is best as i hear that powder coating cracks and cant be repaired?

Man those look sweet.

Bjorn, I found this on a search: https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ht=weight+rims I seem to remember a longer post somewhere, though.

Correct

They are powder coated and it is much more durable than paint.

Russ, where did you have them done? Cost? turn around time?

im really surprised this thread hasn't been locked yet

People are still commenting and asking questions.. That seems to fall in line with the purpose of a discussion forum :D

But I did move it from the classifieds section :mrgreen:

shows you how much i pay attention

Thanks for the info 8541Hawk .

I had them done locally here in Ft. Worth. Cost wasn't too bad 125 for both wheels and the cush drive. That included stripping both the wheels with a media blaster and the cush drive. I know the guys were glad to see them go because one of the wheels had an "outgassing" problem which happens sometimes with powdercoating. Seems air or some other gas is produced as the powdercoat is baked to a gel and bubbles out the surface creating holes in the powdercoat. Guys had to strip it three times then redo it finally putting in an additive that creates a longer gel time for the powdercoat which allows it to flow back into the holes before hardening. It took them a week to finish it up since they don't do wheels exclusively and I really didn't want to rush them.
