SEBSPEED Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Ahh, nice!! The site says for double side s/a though? :wub: I :goofy: the PVM "10Y" wheels... would have to convert to single nut though... Quote

Those wheels are amazing. Did you get that from the Kawi site? I have a similar picture stored on my computer. Quote

Nope, I snatched that pic right from the source, www.borderlinecustomcycle.com. look under the "projects" link. It's a 1992 ZX7 with MV Agusta body, R1 tail, Duc swingarm, ohlins, aluminum tank, and nitrous... :joystick: :thumbsup: Quote
VFR4Lee Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Nice. As soon as I cash that big lottery ticket. :wub: Quote
The Phantom Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Newly Designed Wheel for Honda VFR800 F4i in 3.5/5.5 x17 They've been reading VFRD!!! That black bike is spectacular - can't pick the frame. but it has MV Agusta fairings with R1 tail on custom subframe... Edit: a few posts in since I was writing mine... ZX-7R eh? Always liked them, and I'd love to build one up like that thing! Big bucks though. Quote
Member Contributer jeremy556 Posted June 29, 2007 Member Contributer Posted June 29, 2007 The site says for double side s/a though? :wub: I think their site is wrong. It is listed for a double swing arm, lists as fitting F4i also, and shows a wheel that uses bearings and has the sprocket mounted to it. Quote

On their own website, they show SSSA wheels, but they appear to be single nut designs with 4 drive pins. Might have to do a spindle conversion.... http://www.forged-wheel.com/vstarsingle.htm Quote

Member Contributer tooslow Posted June 29, 2007 Member Contributer Posted June 29, 2007 I took my bike down as the proto type and will be picking my wheels up next week. Photos to follow. Pat. Quote
Member Contributer tooslow Posted June 29, 2007 Member Contributer Posted June 29, 2007 I think the additional cost is brought about by the fact the rear hub has an adapter to fit a Duc wheel with a single nut eliminating the four nuts of the VFR. I will post up a picture after I get back from Spring Mtn. race tract this weekend. I have run out of time and will miss out on using them at the track.. I have been working with Mr. Wakamatsu for about a year now trying to get this off the grount. He first made a die for the Duck, and rather than go to that expense again he decided on the wheel adapter out of chrome molly. Quote
UFO Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Oh god...my wife is going to kill me if these bolt right on to a VFR. :goofy: Quote
Veefer800Canuck Posted June 29, 2007 Author Posted June 29, 2007 Tooslow: that's awesome that you've gotten this rolling. There may be some takers out there, especially the FrankenViffer crowd. But not me, I like living in my house and sleeping in my own bed, right Neal? Quote
Member Contributer SAFE-T Posted June 29, 2007 Member Contributer Posted June 29, 2007 Still cheaper than Marchesini's... Quote

Hobie1dog Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 This single nut conversion hub was on Ebay last week for 175.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...0398&rd=1,1 Quote
Member Contributer toro1 Posted June 29, 2007 Member Contributer Posted June 29, 2007 Someday, hopefully, I'll get around to doing the single-nut hub mod, so I can slap on a rear mag wheel to match the Marchesini mag front I have on there now. It's incredible how much turn-in and steering effort are improved by slapping on a lighter hoop, so if I can remove even more rotating weight from the rear (combined with suspension mods), this bike will be an absolute dream to ride. PS -- the linked picture was taken moments after I got the bike together, so please refrain from the usual poultry-related comments... :D Quote
mechdziner714 Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 For about the same price I might hold out for some magnesium wheels. This is a new company so no VFR version yet. Mag wheels for less Theres a very entertaining thread about them on the WERA board WERA mag wheel thread Quote
UFO Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Theres a very entertaining thread about them on the WERA boardWERA mag wheel thread 51 pages? Uhhh...no. :goofy: Quote

David Silver Spares sold me one for UKP60 + VAT not too long ago. ($160 @ Ron Ayers). Ciao, Quote
