[QUOTE="SFO, post: 115692, member: 21864"] 24K dude... The pm wheels are light but a hamfist with a tire machine can turn a racing pm wheel into garbage in 15 seconds. The flanges are soft and thin. At Kos we used to have a hot tank of water that we would warm the tires in and just slip them on without tools. My favorite brake setup is a 13" Kosman rotor with a 4piston nissan caliper of the gsxr variety, that way you don't have to trim the backside of the caliper so much and the rotor center is really easy to make being flat. You will want a fork brace too, as without it you will be doing two lane stoppies as the front end winds up with the single side torque application and you steer into parked cars, or oncoming traffic. (Don't ask me how I know this) I think that using stock hubs is a fine option as well, you get to retain your cush drive, and they bolt on. Just send your hubs to Buchanans and let them do the rest. I made custom links to lower my seat to make the front end. You might want to run a stiffer spring as well. When it is all said and done I would also mock up the front end geometry on paper and make sure you have enough trail. Something else I had time to think about sliding on my back down the freeway at 70mph because my bike got so twitchy you had to keep both hands on the bars. I am glad I got to live and learn about that one... The new excel hubs look bitchin too. I can only imagine what collects dust at your house Rich. BTW, I am sworn to secrecy about Dales collection.
