  • New wheels for my TLR! Merry Christmas to me!

    MMMMMMM Dymag Magnesium wheels :thumbs-up





    Now the question is, should I leave them gold or change to another color?
    I like you. When the world is mine your death will be quick and painless.

            Cool. Nah change the color of them. They will not look right on your bike that color. Just go head chrome them.

              Sweet, bro.


              If we ever reach the point where we can't openly discuss riding bikes on acid without even a modicum of civility, then the terrorists have won.

                Nice! I think my R1 could use a set of those. From IndySuperbike.com? Do they have a cush drive? I hear wheels without that provision can cause your tranny problems...

                My Buell has Marchesini magnesium wheels (no cush, but the belt drive serves the same function). I'm not sure they help it to go much faster unfortunately...

                    They're used, from a fellow TLP member. No way would I spend the $2400 these wheels cost new. They do have a cush drive and come with several different sprockets, both 520 and 530.

                      Very nice!! Nothing like buying yourself a Christmas present.
                      I would go chrome as well

                        I guess whether to stick with the gold or go something else is a matter of taste and really depends on how well it goes with your existing paint scheme...

                        Mean, magnesium wheels are the schizzle, with the lighter weight giving you better handling, better braking, better acceleration and better suspension response.

                        Q: What's the weight difference between those and the stock wheels?

                        Cheers

                          Um, no way will these ever be chromed. The whole point is that they are light, the added weight of chroming would be very counter-productive.
