Carbon Wheels

[groran1000]

I'm curious about handling in the twisties if I put carbon wheels on my 2022. Is it like night and day? I thought I read that the busa would handle close to a 1000 that had OEM wheels. If it handles a whole lot better, which carbon wheels have a good record of not delaminating and cracking? ANY input appreciated and welcomed.

Nothing will handle like a 1000 let alone like a 600 but you would definitely notice and enjoy the difference.

I run a set of BST Diamond Tek and BST Mamba Tek set on both of mine and no issues in over 100,000kms and they’ve seen their fair share of poop roads riddled with potholes.

BST or Rotobox are good options for carbon wheels.

All the damaged BST's I've ever read about were all older models, that did not have the braided wire loops molded into the wheel lips for strength, and all the modern BST's and Rotoblox have those.

Brocks bst wheels is what I have and I'll never go back to stock one much lighter so better handling about 35 pounds unsprung wieght,looks cooler, very tough on bumpy roads,just make sure you spring for the ceramic bearings plusses you get to pick your color. Keep in mind though if you looking for performance in corners you start with wieght reduction so wheels exhaust and YOU thwn do you sag. Just my 2 cents

bah sorry didnt see misspells. what i ment was after you do the mods on bike then you get the sag on the bike adjusted. after that you may play around with the quick shifter and not kill yourself! Make sure you inspect the wheels with pics BEFORE you have the tires mounted that way you can see if installer scratched them! then just clean them after every ride with soap and water! nothing more! enjoy bud !
