Radials on my ride

[sdt354]

I can't believe I got it done. Radials on my Vmax. I've been wanting radials for years. And though I think Carro's are just the most beautiful wheel on the planet, I just couldn't afford a set right now. But waiting patiently as possible I got a Kosman 17" and thought an 85 front matched well. Both wheels were great deals, from two Texas Bro's on this forum. Tina got me a set of Metzler Z6's as a gift. She knew how bad I wanted them. What a wife I have. I just put about 350 miles on them and can't believe how my bike handles and rides. It's like riding on a cloud. The cost was replaced by some minor aggravation and the labor I put in. I had the time to polish just the lips, strip and powder coat. I wanted less cleaning and more riding. The black was just right.

Those wheels look great Steve, that 85 front matches the rear very well, im sure you are a happy camper

Hey Steve, finally
How does it feel now? Great right!

What size did you get for the z6?

Very nice. Try to put into words the differences in your old wheels & tires for those moments when some ......... attempts to tell everyone who'll listen , just how great those bias ply tires handle. :rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200:

Bike looks outstanding.

es,

I'll take more when the rain quits. Thanks guys. Rotors, bearings and seals all had to be added in. I should be good for a while. The 180 rear fit the stock swingarm with 2.5 mm space left. Just bracing and powdercoating needed. Then I'm done?:rofl_200:

I got a 110/80/18 up front. And a 180/55/17 rear, Mike. The first thing I noticed was no longer being effected by grooves in the road. Then I took an off ramp without braking and am still here to talk about it. It feels as nice as changing the calipers and knowing you have some stopping power now.

Just need an earlier set of forks and proper rotors... Well done. You finally tackled the spacing problem at the rear....

Looks great ! I like that back wheel I wished I had one like that. My Kosman is heavy and I want to ditch some weight but cant afford the cazz wheels

They look even better in person. Now I'm screwed I have Garrett and now Steve both with radials. My wife's gonna kill me. I'm hoping for a set of cazz's real soon. Thanks guys

If you do it you will NOT be disappointed, the Carrozerria wheels are beautiful and L I G H T! :worthy:

Welcome to the 21st century. The wheels look great Steve, glad to have you in the modern world!:clapping:

Looks great Steve! Love the stripe you polished on them, it really makes em pop!

 

[sdt354]

Thanks again guys, it means a lot hearing it from the Bro's. I think a shipment of Carro's is going to Lakeville soon. Mark is right in the middle of Garrett and Steve-o. And, Dale in Fall River. The Monkey has him surrounded!
