Big red - new wheels

[Cecil_Stringer]

Just mounted the Marvics this weekend.
My apologies for the half-naked Busa pics.
I promise to get some better ones after the new bodywork arrives....
Still going back and forth between Red & Black though...

What kind of improvement in ET and MPH have you noticed at the track?? ??

Did you weight the stockers and them before/after?

Otherwise, they look sweet!

How much weight do the marvics save over the stockers

Thanks everyone... I really like the weight difference, as well as the different look.

Here's on for you...

Friday Night when I mounted the brand Marvic magnesim(sp) wheels on my Busa...

Did the rear first & slapped a big ole 200 series Shinku Ultra-Soft tire on her.
Then did the front and decide to take ole-girl for a test ride.

Well.... as I pull out into the street I notice she is steering like crap.... feels like I left the strap tightened on the front end.

I check the strap.... and it is loose.
The light turns green and off I go.

I blast up the rode, do a u-turn and return immediately.... something is wrong.

I pull back into the shop with 0 air pressure in the front tire!
I just about passed out from fear that I may have damaged the wheel.

Appearently, the valve steam on the front wheel was missing the little o-ring that seats the contact point from the inside.... I did not notice this.

So this 1 cent item just about cost me a $1000 wheel, and possible a crash.

Be careful and double check your bikes.

Ride Safe.
