I'm in the process of building the wheels for her.....but i just stuck the zytecs on to get a feel for how she'll look, have to say even with the heavy(ish) wheels on she's feather light!! :shocked: not sure if i should cut the bars down a little either, they're 28.5 inches wide!!

that looks long as fook, wish id gone for that now, those bars are too nice to cut dude :daumenhoch:
-
This isn't the one that was for sale last week, i picked this one up off Greenmachine about 9 months ago, it's just been hard finding the right purple bits for it :-\
It's TT is 20.5 inches and yes those bars are sweet as! even with those wheels on i could still pick it up with my little finger no problem!
If it's windy at MK i think it'll blow away!! :daumenhoch:
-
Its looking great rob :daumenhoch: you will have to have the man flu more often :LolLolLolLol: funny i fill like crap today but ive got the kids :'( if i didnt i would respray the ripper white :daumenhoch: as im on a respray roll at the mo :2funny:
-
Cheers mate.......yeah i was lucky yesterday......it was touch and go but with the aid of the MCS and the PS2 with Call of Duty 2 i managed to stay alive and get through the worst of it ;)
Once i'd stuck on the wheels and bars then sat on it, i couldn't believe just how roomy it is! this will be my cruise machine from now on me thinks :daumenhoch: it's just so cumfy, although it does feel like you've got cow horns on the bloody thing with those bars :LolLolLolLol:
-
would be ashame to cut them :-\ my ones on ripper ate wider than i usually use ,but ive got used to them now :daumenhoch: i usualy cut my down :daumenhoch:
-
dont cut them. that looks luverly apart from the horrid clash of colour with the wheels.
it still looks good, even with them....it will look rad whe you get those wheels built.
-
leave the bars alone,i would buy another set and sell them.
-
Okay okay........i won't touch the bars ::) yeah that green and off white really clash well don't they! :daumenhoch:
I went to custom riders on saturday and asked them what size spokes i needed for aero rims and small flange hubs, they gave me 194mm but as soon as i started to build the first wheel i realised they were too long! i carried on though and completed the wheel and every spoke sticks out about 10mm >:(
So got to take em back and get some more....otherwhise i'd of had those puppies built up yesterday as well >:(

They are supposed to be quite rare........but i'd rather keep the bars with the bike, as they are MCS bars.......just means i'll be catching a few more elbows on the corners at MK :daumenhoch:
-
put spikes on them then.
-
That's a great idea!
"Riders ready.....Pedals ready......Fix bayonets!" :daumenhoch:
