And boy do they look nice.
Sent them out about 2 weeks ago and FedEx delivered them today. I put my Sportec M3 160 tire on the rear. I already have the Bandit 1200 rear brake arm on for tire clearance. Also, my pearl and candy flakes came in today too!

Holy crap those like nice. I was looking at the few first pictures as though you thought that silver rim was chrome and was like what the heck! I expect pictures when theyre on your bike! :thumb:
Chrome: you're one step away from going all Harley on us.
They do look nice.
^^^ LOL......Just wait and see. Remember those fairing bolts we were talking about? Well Ive got those too but no pics of those yet until and fairings are done
More rim pics soon. Waiting on more pieces to come in
Man your pics take friggen ages to load geez. Looks good btw. So your running metzeller rubber?
I resized them really small for you guys :(
But yep, Metzeller Sportec M3's
So what size are the rims? Like the whole lot are they just wider then stock or different thickness profile?
You are right. They are stock Katanas. I have a 160 on the rear and a 130 on the front I think.
What's your middle number though is it different to the stock rim?
You can add in the width parameter to the links. Then they are small until you click on them.
...all those pictures and not one cat picture :nono:
I know addy mate how offensive. Couldn't even throw in a rabbit photo

Sorry bud, I dont remember and the markings on the rims were removed. They are 98-02 Katana rims though

Are the pics big to you?
Sorry, no cats around here. Just big dobermans
You could have thrown in one of those for the heck of it, I like dobermans :)
Here.....a pic of my blue Dobe

Flying cat balls!

I have 3/4 polished rims on my Thundercat and they are a b!tch to keep clean...
I go out on a fine summers day and when i get home they are blotchy :icon_rolleyes:
We have a product at work called something like 308 Release Agent, and some of the boys at work used it on their bikes top to bottom and say nothing sticks to it.
after the rains (& floods) go iam going to give it a go.
Wow, they look ahhhhmazing!
Shame this thread has been ruined by those pesky cat guys :technical:
