Hey tell Rick to put my headers up on a ***cin bench or something .. not ***cin kicking round workshop floor ... haha .. can't wait to 'hear' the finished bike G

Truly worlds apart from what it was. Handling, turn in, acceleration is completely transformed with the CF wheels. When I read the site saying it is amazing bang for buck improvement, they weren't lying.

The new position is a perfect blend of function when accelerating and comfortable with cruising.

Cost a couple bucks but its like falling in love with a new bike all over again.

Once I finish of the few little bits I'll send it over to Nev to make a few final tweaks then ride it every where

YES I have the CF wheels and I agree an amazing improvement

Thanks mate. You are 100% correct about the tyres. Front is 130/70/18 and rear 240/40/18

VERY nice Im going to run that tire combo next

Right on the money there Trevor, WD40 is only good for wet dizzies an rusty bolts Graphite whilst messy is the only thing to use on or in a lock done properly should last a good while, I would also put a tiny spot of it on the key entry so the key pushes it around inside

YOU can buy spray LOCK EASE IT works the best for me

Now after reading this and some other reads I think these CF wheel are my next mod where can we buy them in oz ? Or do I order from us ?

Too many pothole on the roads I ride, hate to have one shatter or even just crack while motoring along
I believe there have been some already do it,
They look awesome and I am sure they improve the bike with the reduce unsprung weight but I dont think I am prepared to spend that sort of money then being wary of every pothole I see it would drive me nutty then I already am

Pretty sure you gotta get 'em from the manufacturer in South Africa.... why not PM Ponters? He obviously will know......

thanks guy's now you got me thinking . the read up and youtube clips with a wedge weight been dropped onto tyre on cf wheel and in the clip mention that a normal alloy wheel would of broke in this test but did not show a alloy wheel tested and what type ' there is street approved and race CF wheel , but i have to say about 15 years ago on my gpz900 i did go into a nasty pot hole bottom out my front end and bent my front rim lucky i didn't blow out the tyer so may be in that situation the CF would crack or shatter

There's a member on the Speed Triple forum , calls himself Dodge... makes really tidy carbon fibre bits at less than half the price others seem to ask. All the blokes that have bought bits from him seem pleased with his products. Pretty sure he's UK based though.

Yep bought mine from Evil (Chris Seers) in UK. Did a great job with the custom paint matching.


Ponters,
Bike looks Freaking Awesome!!

Different fella I'm pretty sure .. Dodge has more a 'homemade' line of products .. don't think he actually does any RIII parts.
