BST WHEELS on my 07 REPSOL

[jbigelow]

ordered my BST wheels today, picked them up from the BST distributor locally in Sacramento (rancho cordova), CA, and slapped some MICHELIN PILOT POWER 2CTs. all in one day!!!!!!! :)

OMG! the bike rides sooooo different now! :eek:

[Big Kahuna]

Hey check out Bangcustoms on my myspace . His repsol is off the hook its in the last superstreet magezine

Rims are sweet. You are missing a little orange. :p All you need now is the CTS rotors to bring out the rims.

[salvaje]

Exactly. I just spent $200 polishing my stock rotors just to buy some more time until the '07 rotors come out. :rolleyes:

I read on BSTs site that adding their wheels is like adding 25bhp to
your bike performance wise. Now that you've got to ride it do you think
that's true?

[Nakkers]

25bhp gain, wow thats a big statement fantastic if it can be confirmed as for the rims jb very nice indeed but imo i've always thought the orange wheels kinda made these bikes look special, don't get me wrong though yours still looks sweet but each to their own as they say .

[vrapcenjak]

Orange rimtape would be a nice touch JB. Maybe you should try it.

i dont know about the 25 BHP, but i do know that acceleration, braking, and the whole dynamics of the bike is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay different now.

i thought about that already. :)

we'll see.

-johnThe Honda - Repsol rim stickers would look great on there as well. I'm sure the BST's are lighter than my CZ's, but I know what you're talking about when you say the whole dynamics are different with lighter wheels.

[highside]

Looks nice, I just mounted some on a guys R6, those are some really light wheels.:D

[TX Repsol]

$3,600 :eek:

I thought the CST wheels were pricey... goes to show how much I know.

I'm used to Mustangs - I've been eyeing a set of wheels for my coupe that run $179 each. I've been too cheap to buy them and now I realize how good of a deal that really is.

[silvercbr]

They need to make a set out of Orange Carbon/Kevlar. That would be bad ass. I miss the orange, but carbon fiber is pretty god damn pretty as well.

[1eyebrother]

Sweet lookin rims man....a little over my budget....if they made a orange carbon rim that would be even sweeter....

[playajay98]

Carbon rims? I had never heard of such a thing. Just beautiful. I obviously need to get my money right to play with you guys! Congrats on the new set. Make sure you baby them.

Different in what way? Better, worse? details please!!:D

i'm not good at explanations, but this should help you out when you buy lighter wheels.....

Alrighty then, just read that whole science lesson from the link. I guess that means the wheels are way different in a good way:) If all that performance enhancing is true about the wheels then I can see why they're so expensive! Thanks for sharing.

p.s. Hey BK do you know what happened here with the quoting? It says its my quote but its Jbigs....I was trying to quote him. It makes it look like I'm talking to myself, like I'm crazy.lol

This may sound like a stupid question but that is for the "pair" correct? :eek:

LOL - It has to be. If it's not, I'm in the wrong business. I'm gonna start selling motorcycle wheels.
