Thanks, bro. After working 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week since September, I think a set would be a nice Christmas gift to myself.

new wheels always look slick.

Will post pics as soon as they're installed.

[marko138]

When will they arrive?

[sleeper_red]

When will they arrive?
Two weeks maybe? It will be shipped to Hyperbike Performance Centers in Frederick, MD where I get all the stuff done. I just have to get the 60,000 mile service done first. I'm scheduled for this coming Monday but mother nature just dumped like 4 inches of snow. We'll see what happens.

[marko138]

Don't I know it. Snowed here today too. Didn't leave much. They called for 1-3 inches but didn't get any accumulation. I'm gonna try to get out tomorrow so I can change the oil, wash it and put it to sleep till March.

I think it will look great! Can't wait to see some pictures once you have them on.

[TYEster]

Bling bling!

I was thinking about ordering a set in black for the motard. I can get them for $500 less than Marchesini's.

[wildchild]

those rims look very nice. can't wait to see pics.

[karl_1052]

I think you should have ordered them in Gold and had them shipped to my house.

[t-homo]

Too sick, man. Congrats.

[neebelung]

Gorgeous! :drool:

[sleeper_red]

Thanks, everyone. My rear tire is just about worn out so as soon as the wheels arrive, I'll get them installed. Weather permitting, of course. Got the 60,000 mile service done yesterday. Man, she runs like new again. Greg from Hyperbike also did a compression test and it showed close to 200 PSI per cylinder. He said that's pretty good for a bike with 60,434 miles. He put Mobil 1 racing 4t oil again, changed the plugs, bled brakes and clutch, pretty much checked the whole bike and the only thing I need soon is a new chain. I'm not surprised. That chain has over 30,000 miles on it. It's the EK ZZZ. He couldn't believe the bike is only 2 years and 2 months.

What bike are they going on?

Hopefully you notice a difference. I'm interested to see the results.

Glad she got a clean bill of health.

Going on this one.


One guy I know just ordered the exact same ones and he really noticed the difference. He also has a Busa. There's a 7 lb. difference between the stock ones and CZ's.

Glad she got a clean bill of health.

I'm telling you, she runs pretty strong for a bike with over 60,400 miles on it.

[sleeper_red]

Forgot to mention that I'm getting a brand new Vortex rear sprocket in black and a new chain.

Tye, I have Marchesnis on my TLR, and I noticed the difference with lighter wheels before I was 5 feet out of the driveway. I'll let you take it for a spin when I bring it down. :D

Ya honestly, it's hard to really ask your sportbikers, seeing is how I only have a 250lb bike to play with, I don't know if they'd make enough of a difference to justify them on the tard.

The only REAL justification I can see is I wouldn't need to run a tube. However after my first tire/tube change, it isn't much more of a hassle when changing tires.

I heard it's really noticeable when you have lighter wheels. One guy with a Busa said it felt like a smaller bike.

Cant wait to see the new wheels on her!

[sleeper_red]

Scheduled to mount the wheels on Tuesday of next week. We'll see if they don't schedule me to work. I hope not.

And I had just talked myself into waiting another year or two to pull the trigger on a busa and you go and post this!

Looking good!

[tommymac]

Nice contrast with the red rims.

[G-Rex]

That looks good!

[marko138]

I can really feel the difference. The bike feels lighter.

New wheels look great. The contrast between the red and black makes them pop out at you.
