Just finish installing the exhaust and tank bag with tank ring mount. Now it sounds like a motorcycle. If anyone is interested in a OEM exhaust with 50 miles let me know.

Had a chance to meet Bazzaz at a AMA race and he is really nice guy. He does all the Fuel controllers for the Jordan Race Team. He gave me a discount card for his products and in the future will definitely consider them.

Emailed Mark at Carrozzeria and according to him these where Limited Edition and only 10 sets were made, and there are no plans to make anymore. So either I need to buy someones old set, or set up a group buy but from what I read most ofyou guys arent willing to shell out the cash for them. So either way I dont get what I want.

Still did not get an answer...lol. Where do I find these wheels?

They (Carrozeria) unfortunately do not have a great reputation amongst the sportbike community. Their initial output sportbike wheels had several problems, such as difficulty in mounting/demounting of tires, and as I've personally experienced, shoddy anodising on a set of gold Z1000 wheels (they ended up being returned to the retailer that sold it).

I do hope they've pulled their act together though. They should have, by now.

There are a couple of other threads that I came across, but these are what I can remember. Approach these wheels with extreme caution, IMO.

There initial run of V6 model wheels had some issues. They also had some issues with the powdercoating company they were working with. All of these problems were resolved long ago, and the vstar wheels have had zero issues. I've sold a bunch of them and have not had any complaints. I've also not read or heard of anyone complaining online about carrozzeria with any of the current model wheels. The v6's were discontinued.

Does anyone know the cost on these wheels now? And does anyone actually have these on their VFR? I would like to buy a set but iI would like someone's feedback on these wheels. I think I found a site that has them for 1689 but not sure if thats for both.
