Did someone steal your photos for this ebay posting? or am I just going crazy? They look like your early-on build pics.

The seller is SSR. He worked with SSR on developing these and obviously promotion was part of the incentive.

Thanks!

Those are stand hooks if you don't want to use swingarm spools to raise the bike

CZroe · July 5th, 2014, 03:04 PM

I think I've heard thst type called a "paddock stand" or something.

JohnnyBravo · July 6th, 2014, 08:34 AM

@diwhiteii how much did the weight savings on those rims help?

It flicks right to left like a feather and the acceleration is improved. Next mod is really going to get me excited. Aluminum Swingarm

. See Below

JohnnyBravo · July 6th, 2014, 09:57 AM

That's good stuff... I'm def looking into the rims; nice swing arm too

Thanks

choneofakind · July 6th, 2014, 10:55 AM

With the lighter rims and lighter swingarm, you're going to have to adjust your rebound damping a little bit.

It's going to rebound a little faster and will need some more damping so you don't pogo.

Yep. I haven't dialed it in just quite yet, but will when I get the swingarm.

I'm pretty sure paddock stand refers to the front/rear stand itself, not the hooks.

Do you happen to have the actual weights of the stock and new wheels? I'm wondering how the VRossi wheels compare. It could be just my imagination, but my bike did seem like it accelerated a bit more easily with the new wheels/tires on it.

Rotational inertia mang, every little bit helps. You're running DRII tires on those VRossi rims. Light tires + light rims = less rotational weight = quicker acceleration with the same torque applied. I'd hazard a bet that increase was not all in your head.

Think like a weight weenie bicyclist.

Actually Pilot Powers. The only thing I have the weight of is the new wheels, not the new tires or the old tires/wheels (hence my question to diwhiteii), so I wasn't even positive that the new stuff was lighter.

But yes, if the new setup really is lighter, it would definitely help. If you really want to get into it, even the weight distribution within the wheel setup could have a small effect on things (I think this came up in another thread).

All covered in the first three words.

Who makes the swing arm

I was looking at swapping a cr500 swing arm into my ninja when I had it

Alas laziness overcame ambition

-also --- why hasn't anyone made their own carbon fibre rim yet?

I've been watching a lot of documentaries on carbon fiber vacuum infusing
The curing in an autoclave is the difficult sounding part . But that could be don't with a really big pressure cooker

There are already CF wheels for r1 Busa grom

Somone has to make them for ninjettes

BST would make them for sure they make batch s

A batch of six grom wheels is on ebay

Sailboat... You already have a bike to ride, new wheels won't make that much of a difference... Sail boat is a whole new ball park for you to play in

When you buy that sailboat, it will be the second happiest day of your life.

JohnnyBravo · July 9th, 2014, 11:49 AM

I'm ready to retire... It's totally possible, yet crazy, soon as I get a boat capable of sailing around the high seas

Stay on CL- often people sell decent boats for stupid cheap

the sail boat market is very volatile and I even found 30' sail boats for free on occasion. Depends where you look , but for such a major investment you should be looking all over the country.

The problem with the free boats is they need thousands of $ in rigging and maintenance

I've been seeing the same thing, an checking stuff out. It's amazing how much some stuff costs, an how much folks seem to give away

LittleRedNinjette · July 10th, 2014, 10:01 AM

Very nice...

Klondike1020 · July 10th, 2014, 12:36 PM

People who have money to spend have money to throw away.

Boats are the worst investment possible.

I am very careful about how I spend money on a boat.

If you get a live aboard cheap then the money saved on a house or apartment can mediate the overall expenses.

Typically I buy small boat project. Jet ski, jet boat, older I/o.
Get them cheap and fix them. Sail boat rigging and slips- nothing cheap about them.

Over Racing makes the swing-arm and it is not a regular stock item, each one is made after payment is received and you can't cancel your order.
