Awesome Jeff, nice set. I am actually getting the same set, only my spokes are in silver.
What do you think of them?? Riding impression?? Give us your scoop!!
Andrew is a nice guy, hope he took care of you well.
BTW, who makes that rear hugger/chain guard?? I am also going the cf bodywork route as you did, only I am thinking of spraying it with a blue tinted clearcoat.
The bike is looking pretty good!!
Enjoy the wheels.

I saw where you said 9.87/15.5 pds weight for the stock ones, how much do the new ones weigh?

8.5 pounds rear, 5.5 pounds front is what they advertise on this set.
They are pretty pisser, anxiously awaiting mine!!

I have saved an additional 2-2.5 lbs. Think I have the stock wheels weight wrong on that web page (front wheel + rotors should be 17 lbs., rear around 22 lb.). Nothing wrong with my old wheels, I just need more carbon.... guess you can call me "Carbon man" .
Right now I need to have the wheels balanced (they/I forgot in the rush to have them installed) in the morning, so I can't really say about the handling.
The hugger is Lockhart Phillips. I plan on keeping the carbon, might add a Tapeworks kit.
Andrew is a good guy, my delivery was a little slow..... he was at Laguan Seca when I called (I should have been there), so I had to wait until he returned to get them shipped.
I had e-mailed Andrew some months back asking about the wheels and just so of let it die (did not think I wanted them). Andrew got some in and e-mailed me back.....poof I called and ordered the set. I'm happy with the service

Hey Jeff, whats the price on that Mikuni triple clamp, I love the way it looks, very trick.
Both front and rear wheels are long gone, sorry.
The 3-clamp is avail. from turbo1300@cybercyclestuff.com, it's $650 (includes clip-ons and removes around 3.5 lbs ). Yep it's quite a bit of money, but does look so good in person.

Don't use liquid:

I got new wheels too! Dymags from Richard at TTS (five spoked model). I had a local guy mount them the day they arrived (yesterday). I had the option of the tire being balanced with weights or "liquid balancer." I opted for the liquid goo because I can't stand the thought of having ugly weights on my beautiful new wheels. Problem is this liquid goo makes me nervous. Anyone familiar with this stuff and am I asking for trouble?
I haven't decided what to do with my stock wheels. What are people getting for them if I decide to sell them?
