What do you guys think?  I havent actually ridden the bike yet.  Im stuck working elsewhere till the end of the month...  My buddy that owns the shop had it at Ascari Race Resort in southern Spain this weekend and was testing some mods they did to the suspension and of course try out the wheels.  He said its a massive difference.

It really isn't

You need to put the link to the actual pic in the image tags. Not the link in the address bar from your set of pics.

You WILL love them waytogo

Maybe it's something I missed about the Mamba, but to my eye it seems like the wheel nut has been mounted without the conical spacer ?

Also 1 - did you get new 190 tires?
Also 2 - how is the clearance by the swingarm on the left side (6" wheels won't leave much room on the left side)

Hello stopintime.  I havent even seen the bike yet!  Ill be home in a couple days ill let you know how that clearence is.  I didnt get the 190 tires, was a fairly new set of rosso IIs on there in 185.  Thinking maybe the super corsa 190 next?

I have no FHE with the 7 spoke Mamba, but my 5 spoke 5.75" came with a spacer to go between the hub and the wheel. It's purpose is to clear the rear brake caliper (not an issue on the 7 spoke) and to clear the swing arm. When my wheel was mounted with the spacer, two things happened - wheel misalignment and the wheel nut didn't catch enough threads to show the axle holes for the safety clip. Now, IF that second issue is the case on your wheel - maybe it's "solved" by leaving the conical spacer out. I'm pretty sure that would be a bad idea. I can't really tell from the picture, but worth checking IMO.

Maybe a 185 tire is fine (didn't know they make that), but the norm is 190 on a 6" wheel. I run a 190/55 Metzeler M5 and it performs well and it clears in all directions. With the eccentric hub in the ~6-7 o'clock position and normal sprocket sizes/chain links, there is enough clearance between the tire outer circumference and swingarm too.

Take a look when you can and keep us posted waytogo

Looking at those makes me want to  vomit. I actually need a new rear rim and have thought about selling lefty to get a BST. I guess I have a set my priorities straight.

BSTs made a HUGE difference on the SC.

Stopintime.  I tried to get a few pics of the clearance.  You are right they dont make 185s, i have 180s Its hard to tell from the pics but i have a hard time to imagine a 190 would have the clearance...
