Someone send this link to MotoCreations. He's building a trick Sport Classic, and these need to be on it.

Those things are SICK. I would almost buy a bike JUST to put them on it!!!!
I wonder if it's possible to have a spoked hub on a SSSA ?

+1 Never seen a SSS with spokes, either (that might not look so hot, but I donno yet!).

bmw doesn't seem to have a problem with it.
spoked wheel, OK
Carbon shell'd spoked wheels [thumbsup] [wine] [clap] [bacon]
I sent my wife the link and told her it's what I want for my birthday. Keep your fingers crossed! [evil]

The only issue with the DyMag Carbon fiber wheels is that they show very little spoke and make the rim look smaller. The have the look of a 15 inch rim like you would find on Exile cycles.

i don't think it would work on a duc sss though, there may be too much offset to keep the wheel's spoke holes between the hub flanges.

What in the hell did you just say?

I think it would be very difficult to make a spoked wheel for a ducati single sided swing arm, because the wheels have to have a positive offset to make room for the bearings and brake.

im not saying it could not be done, but in order to make it strong i do not think it would be very pretty (or light).
I've never seen it done on a Ducati, but here is a Moto Guzzi with a SSS and a spoked wheel.

and a BMW.
