[Rollie]

How light are they ? 18s ? Look very nice , well done Sean .

 

[mckzx9]

They are 18's and the shipping weight was 37lbs and there was a lot of cardboard in their. I don't have a scale at my house to weigh them right now. But they feel super light. I did just get home from the gym though lol

Thanks Brian. It's a great feeling. I just ordered my tires I went with the metzler marathon 200 rear and 130 front. Bikerbandit had on their website 20% off entire site. At checkout the discount was not adjusted like they promised so I had to call and am waiting for an answer.

How do you like the 130 front??? I'm going to take pics before during and after when Steve O and I make the transition

Mike don't be mad ill let you ride her this year at either quabbin run or rice o Rama

I'm running the 120 Shinko Verge on the front but I think I'll go with the 130 front next time I change it. The first time I rode after I put my wheels on I could hardly believe it was still Redbone that I was riding, I'm sure you'll love the money spent on this mod b/c along with the sweet looks they are an even better performance upgrade!unk:

How'd you get the cushman drive off??!!

And there is a plastic peice around the cushman that is held on with 4 phillips head screws that are too long for the new wheels, what do you do about that?

 

[PATMAX]

Yeah, I hate you guys now too.
@:$???#%*+~|€?•?|]#!!!!

 

[one2dmax]

To remove the cush drive you take off the outer snap ring near the top. There is an oring under the bottom side of the cush drive that I don't reuse. The screws should work back in the new wheel. If you don't have any luck them you can swing by the hardware store and get some just a little shorter if need be.

perfect candidates for some nice button head SS allens so you dont' gum 'em up again eh?

 

[Frosty72]

Tried to get the discs off the stock rims, I ended up stripping two of the allens on the front wheel holding the right side disc on. PITA.

So I cut a notch in the bolt head and tried with a long handled screwdriver, that didn't work either.

Took it all to the dealer and ordered the tires also, Bridgestone Battlax 200. Hope it fits!!

 

[one2dmax]

Should fit just fine. It will be close. Swingarm should be in the mail at the end of the week (or early next week). You must use a hammer hand type impact to get those rotor bolts loose!

Then you could-have used a cold chisel to drive it loose w/a baby sledge or a BFH of the ball-pein persuasion. :biglaugh: I've had to do that on > 1 occasion.

 

[Redbone]

I had a couple rotor bolts that would not come out of the stock Vmax wheel, I had purchased extra rotor bolts from Sean so I just drilled them out. I used a ez out to get the stud out of the wheel.
Here is a pic of the drilled out bolt and some blue loctite which did it's job maybe just a little too well:
