tyres choice

I like my carbon fiber wheels, just wish they fit my Roadster. They have been over 150 many times on my Classic.

Gratitude.
Good to know as I surely shall be comparing values.
Can you actually order just a rear carbon wheel?
I did not realize your Classic was built.

My bet is they can do a Roadster rear rim. Other then the abs mount sufaces there just a Rocket wheel. Hmmm ya got me thinking and still whishing there were more 240 17" tires out there. Dang bull you ought to try these also amd report back. So I dont have to set up a different set of forks just to try them. I'm not messing with the ones Blaine did for me they're to good

They look wonderful, BUT not for $1,800.00!
And to be honest, since I shall not be moving from race track to race track, I do not require 40 Rebound positions, 40 Compression positions, and 30 Manual spring preload positions (15 mm).
In addition, I already push the lean angle limits of my Roadster with the Progressive suspension I have. I doubt these would improve my net performance very much.

I would worry about with th CF rims is road damage. In our state the roads will damage your teeth also but hey you can smoke pot now, get high and not notice them sticking it to ya

Its the Democrat way here.

Feelin' pretty good about the recent prison release of your hero, are ya?

wow the C04TRI017 is the only ones I found for the Rocket at 990 euros which is like 1076 USD plus vat and shipping Still yes a bit pricey I suspect not like them there fancy lights. Me I am just checking as I am happy with mine now.

I imagine you can get just one or the other.

The Classic is not a built motor. Just intake, exhaust, Carpenter/TuneBoy 9000 RPM map, PCV tuned by Tommy Miceli. It has plenty of RPM range, and enough horsepower to push it way up there.

DEGET is a service. You have to send them an original wheel and they will alter it to the spec you ask.

The price varies depending on the initial and final spec. It's absolutely necessary to chat with Georg first. Phone or mail.
Rob (@Claviger ) was looking too at one stage - the issue was getting a wheel to them - pushes the price up.
I have a spare wheel - so that cost is resolved (if I want to) - but it's a pre Roadster set.

The wheel in the photo

Georg Deget rim widening a Triumph Rocket 3 rear of the original 7:50 X 16 " to 8.75 X 17"
Triumph Rocket 3

Scope of delivery:

• Broadening of the original rear rim of 7:50 X 16 " at 8.75 X 17" : € 720,00
• Forged wheel rims: 90,00 € ----- Worth every shivering penny.
• TÜV Rheinland approved: 60,00 € ----- This may not be required in the USA - Here it most certainly would be.

• Total price: 870.00 € incl. VAT. ----- Should be no vat for USA divide by 1,19
  
• Plus shipping costs

Parts needed in exchange:
rear wheel

Tyre fitted is Pirelli Diablo Rosso 240/45 ZR17 2 M / C 82W

I guess that much like the conversion Scott has they stick the Original in a big lathe, cut the old rim off and the weld the new one in place.

@barbagris Chris,
Can't do it. The good 17" tires I find all will lower my rear axle again. I cannot abide that, so I am out on this concept. I found only one tire, a 240/R60 that would maintain the radius of a 240/55R16.

What about the @warp9.9 18" rear?
