Nice, nice, NICE!  Good for you to be patient and attract those good things to you!

Oh, I dunno about that part... Hell, until you used the word in a sentence, I wasn't even really sure how to spell it!!  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

Actually I wanted to save the kidney for a family member and I needed the arm to operate the clutch so I talked them into some bone marrow and one nut!! Ouch!!  [laugh]

I am not sure what they are going for now but when I signed up way back when, they gave me a price (which even tho they promised, they didn't deliver). but we found common ground at 3500.00 for the set.

I had a set of those on my RSV1000.  That and the suspension work I had done were the two best mods I've ever made to any bike.  Pure bliss.

I know another fellow that put over 75,000 miles on a pair he had on a ZX636, so ignore the nay-sayers that try to tell you there won't last on the street.

Never listened to naysayers. Always did my own research. Especially when a mfg lists them as "street" wheels and tests them at a 10,000 pound load for 1,000,000 (yup that's a mil folks!) cycles. Great warranty too, longer than most anything else I have ever purchased...  [thumbsup]

Hey Hypurone,
Very sweet looking bike!  I don't mean to change the theme of your thread from jealous drooling (which I'm doing but probably not doing it justice since the knowledge isn't behind it, only the aesthetics) but could someone explain why CF wheels are that much more awesome (as you describe) to ride on?

Think gyroscopic effect on the wheels. Less weight, less effect=one turns quicker, accelerates quicker, stops quicker. Unsprung weight is teh badness, mmmk?



And the bling. Chicks love the bling.

All that and it feels like I added another 20hp.   :o
