BST Carbon Fiber wheels on the project Busa. The BST wheels and same tire combo with fresh tires were 4lbs. lighter than the Marchesini Forged Aluminum wheels with the same tire combination. As the saying goes 4 pounds of rotational mass is equal to 16 pounds of mass 1/4 ratio. That is how much lighter the bike will feel in theory. They do look sharp what do you think. Changes my whole scheme but it will work..thanks to my new shop buddy Sageronin for lending a hand again. We avoided a sheer distaster when the bike slipped off the front stand with no wheel on it. Zero damage.

What is the weight difference over the stock set up?

 

[GPW]

Almost ten pounds rear and nine pounds front lighter than stock..

flowing nicely means it all looks alike....this should help bring some CF into the picture...

The Tires are the Avon's 45-46 combination. Outstanding rubber just put 5K on my last set and they are going on another Busa with about 1.5K left in the rear. Great traction wet/dry and the miles are great. No full pictures yet. The bike is going through some major changes right now. When its done I will post some pics...thanks

How much lighter do you think the bike is over a stock Busa?

 

[GPW]

Me and Sageronin will hit the weigh scale at the dump shortly after we both fill up to the brim with fuel. My best guess based on everything 54-59lbs. lighter. With the weight gone in the right places, wheels, chain, sprockets, rotors & fender, OEM master cylinders heavy braking system, levers, OEM steering damper replaced w/ light weight Sprint under mount model and the exhaust.

 

[GPW]

My AFRAM rear sprocket weighs 11oz. compared to the 4.5 lb. OEM...more to come with some OEM painted carbon fiber body parts.

Man!!! She is lookng purdy!!!! I want those wheels but some of the roads here in AL. are awful.

The wheels are fire. They really make an outstanding looking bike more outstanding (need another adj!!!)
