Carbon Fiber

[Repsol12]

Just ordered the BST carbon fiber rims for my 09 repsol. Got the ceramic bearings with them too. Word of caution though to anyone interested in these wheels...get a supersprox sprocket if you order the rims. The stock bolt patern will not fit! Also, no need for a 520 conversion with these wheels. The dealer tried to tell me they needed it but I talked to Supersprox directly and they said they make a BST specific sprocket with the stock 530 pitch. Ill keep you guys posted as to when they get here, actual weight bare compared to stock and of course, pics pics pics.

Cool, I have BST's on my 848 they are the nuts. I thought that BST used stock disks and sprockets? as mine do! Im sure you are right but seems nuts to change it..

Love to see the pics, never been sure what Repsol will look like without orange rims, can't wait to see.. :)

Stock brake discs but the sprockets are different. Interesting to hear though that there is a manufacturer making the BST sprockets to standard pitch.

Well I have Galespeed on another bike and the rear sproket is aftermarket and a pain to get, they are the same pitch so they match the front but the rear is supersprox or whatever for the rims. You would think that most wheel manufactures would stuck to stock discs and sprockets as fitment is so important. I guess BST have reasons why they do what they do. Anyway the BST's are the nuts and I am sure you will be pleased as I am! They TRANSFORMED my bike and I will try and run good wheels where I can if I have the dosh.. :)


How about a nice pair of CMC disc too.... ;)

LMAO...I just spent $4k (US) on the rims and now youre trying to get me to spend between $1800 and $2500 on rotors!!?? lol. Im getting the CMC's for the front but it will take some time. I only got the rims because I have a credit card that had some space. CMC's in the front all in due time and a Revolution in the back will be ordered shortly so I can just do all the back wheels stuff at once.

Good stuff mate, you are THE MAN with the discs too.. :)



Then the billet brembos and gas forks... :S

[Repsol12]

THE RIMS ARE IN!!! THE RIMS ARE IN!!! The rear, as pictured, weighs 8.5lbs!! Ill get everything else weighed both bare and with all the stuff added (tires, sprocket, rotors) and compare them to the stock ones. For now...eat your hearts out with these pics.

[Repsol12]

Oh and since its gonna be asked...the rims should be on the bike next week or the week after. I have to get the supersprox sprocket and the revolution rotor in before I can get it all installed.

[09Repsol]

those are super sweet! How much do the stock rims weigh, do you know? Just curious the difference.
