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 head
I had already installed one set on a customers bike and the first set had plenty of clearance.
your going to love them!
like riding a schwin

Those clearance issues were for the 5 spokers and they made a spacer for them. These are "supposed" to be direct fit, no spacer req'd but I will be checking all clearances carefully. I may have to get a new chain and shorten it for clearance on the swingarm. This is a 6.0 incher!  waytogo

Beautiful!

Where'd ya get 'em?

MotoWheels.com, they are the sole importer. Most other resellers get em from here. The price usually goes up too. Get ready to hurry up and wait.

I have stock rims and wanted to know if it would be a bad idea to just swap out the front rim for the C/F rim.  Would that mess up the handling or would it help?  I can't afford both front and back.  Please let us know how those rims work out for you and post pics!  I'm Drooooooooooooooliiing!!!!!

I ran only a BST front only on my M900 and it was still a major improvement. I did it with then intention of getting the rear down the road but it never happened. Going with a rear over a front would be bigger improvement though.

OK, finally!! They are mounted up and the first ride is in the books! Holy crap!! My impression in 5 words or less?

GOD I LOVE CARBON FIBER!!  waytogo

Everything you've read about CF wheels is true and then some. I was worrried about an already nimble bike becoming "nervous" or "twitchy". NOT!! Now you have to take into account that I went from a 5.5 rear to a 6.0 and a 180 to a 190 tire. But I gotta tell ya, this combination is just pure sweetness for me.  [moto] Everything cool about the bike is made THAT MUCH BETTER! Acceleration (already scary in its current cfg) is downright fiendish, braking is as well, you already know about cornering and even just the suspension feel over any type of road is so much more precise. I did remove one click of compression out of the front to remove harshness over small bumps. The mid & large bumps were cake, go figure.

There are pics after the jump here:

I went with a 190 on mine too.  Very happy with it and don't notice any loss of drop in.
