kit wheels!!:confused2:

[VR46]

This front wheel is really light - it's cast magnesium, not forged, but still really cool. But they're very expensive by the time you get all the parts to make it work (bearings, axles, cush drive, spacers, etc.). But they are the only lightweight wheelset that looks like the RC211v wheels.

[Big Kahuna]

Ah, got it, you're going for the six spoke race look. Pretty sweet! :)

[TX Repsol]

They'll be orange... right?

[VR46]

Yes, they will be orange.

Here's my newest project for my Repsol - kit wheels!! Front is here - still sourcing bits for the rear.

Are those stage 1 wheels? I've been looking forever for 6 spoke wheels that are bolt on but I can't find anything.

[VR46]

They are HRC/Marchesini wheels - cast magnesium. They are HRC parts. They're bolt on once you spend a fortune in HRC axle sets, spacers, bearings, rotors, cush drive, etc. Around $6000 USD if you buy everything new from HRC.

I just got the axle sets last week - I'll post pics later. They're set up for endurance - quick change.

I hope your not going to use them on the street. They bend very easy not made to endour rough road use. They were bending them last year at sears point coming off the curbing on a smooth race track.

[VR46]

Well, my bike has about 700 miles and it's over 2 years old, so I should be okay to run them on the street ;)

But yes, you are correct. These wheels are not for normal street use - the HRC racing kit manual recommends replacing the WHEELS every two seasons. I didn't think wheels were a maintainence item!!!

But I don't think the wheels you saw at Sears Point were HRC wheels - I don't know anyone in the U.S. that is running them because of the limited availibility and cost. I could be wrong, but I've never seen them in the U.S. since 2004 when American Honda and Erion had HRC bikes.

[msalser1000]

It was yoshimura suzuki. Matt maldin Bent his wheels coming of curbing.

[VR46]

Yeah, Yoshimura Suzuki is definitely NOT running HRC kit wheels. Forged Marchesini 10 spoke.

Update:

Here is the HRC kit swingarm, quick change axle kit, and rear kit wheel. They will be going off to the powdercoater soon...
