My damn wheels finally showed up!   [clap]

Here they are for your drooling pleasure:   :o

I will post up more when they are on the bike. Waiting on new shoes to arrive for them.  [thumbsup]
And quite a bit later, I will do a ride impression write up (can't ride the damn thing cuz I'm at the 7500 service interval and the dealer is booked a FULL MONTH out!!  [puke])

They tell me (of course) that Ducati frowns upon exceeding the interval...  :P

TCK!

I've heard good things about those.

Enjoy! should be fun. Probably going to have a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground. Turn in should be notably improved.

I AM SO FREAKIN' JELOUSE!!!!!!!

I so want BSTs for my bike!!!  I am forced to get a new set of rims for my monster, due to swingarm conversion and front-end swap.  Unfortantly I can't afford BSTs right now  :'( 

I really don't want throw down a 1-2k for a set of rims that I really don't like, only wishing I had BSTs.  I wish my stock rims would work until I had the dough for BSTs.   [bang]

I am drooling at your pics, BTw  :-*  :-*  :-*

I've heard good things about those. Yeah, they come with a 3 year warranty and I've been told they have warranted 5 years out and not even for mfg issues!
Enjoy! should be fun. Probably going to have a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground. Uh yeah, got that prob now as it is. S4RS with 135 rwhp. [evil] Turn in should be notably improved. So I've heard and if it is anything like when I first got the bike, I'm gonna need to spend some time "re-learning" how to ride it!  [moto]

I finally got my BST's mounted and I must say I'm damn glad that I also mounted a steering stabilizer at the same time.  I went to pass a truck on a long stretch today and I jumped from 60 to 100 indicated faster than I could pass the truck which was right in front of me.  I only passed him to see if the wheels made any difference.  The 14t front sprocket helped I'm sure, but my helmet jumped vertically on my head as I blew by and the sudden rush of air stood me upright in my seat.  I'm sure that if the stabilizer hadn't been doing its thing I would have gotten a bit of headshake at the rocketship rate of acceleration I experienced.  What a blast- literally!

Be sure to check rear caliper clearance the shop I used to work at had a set that was supposed to fit a s4RS and the rear caliper hit the wheel spokes. [bang]

I had already installed one set on a customers bike and the first set had plenty of clearance.

your going to love them!
