WARNING!! 56k DEATH!!
Front:



Rear:



Second Rear:



I have the rotors and sprocket for these wheels, just didn't put them on yet. The tech said he can't balance them till I put them on. Their spin balancer clamps to the rotor faces. Is there any other way to do this? I know a cage balancer won't work right. He said they could just move the stock crimp-on weight around to balance- said the line the Harley dealer gave me was horse-shit.

Something funny about cast wheels. We could true a spoke wheel...blah, blah, blah
Yeah, I figured they (fartley) were ripping me off. I'll take my shit to this place again.

Spare wheels as in track wheels? Definately some good tread on the sides still left. Pirelli's need lots of heat to perform their best.

Yep- found a deal on almost new stock wheels to use for track tires. I'm going to start looking for tire warmers, but doubt I'll need them yet.

On second thought, there is no way in hell I'm paying $200++ for two pieces of nylon with heating coils.

Well take 4-5 warm up laps then. Or rent some at the track if possible.

Are you just now coming to the realization that motorcycles are expensive?

hardly. Just saying it's ridiculous for something so simple to cost over $200. Especially when the grip heaters I use every day cost $20. Exact same thing.

Huh, wonder if I could find a cheap heated vest and use that.
