MOTORCYCLE REAR WHEEL LET'S GO
Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2005 4:53 pm
gary just to let you know got the back wheel finished & it's not to heavy.
4.5" x 15 vw rim 10mm thick steel plate for the centre, large hole cut out in middle so my hub can bolt in and 7 holes cut into the centre to remove some of the weight. put on a mickey thompson front runner and the whole thing doesn't weigh much more than my stock ducati wheel with a tyre on it. pumped it up to 50psi reccommended pressure and it's got a nice arch across the top. bikes almost there now got a set of 38mm mikunis new from usa. will post a photo on this site when i figure out how to. also a message to ron stayt will run in either aps/g1000 or mps. bike only has stock z1000j motor in at present with 38mm mikuni flatslides and vance and hines pipe. will do complete rebuild after march meeting.
haven't decided which way to go yet. 1260 on methanol or turbo it. that 15 x 7 rim is a pudding basin style with no holes in it.
see youse in march.
