no more than 5 spokes please...if i wanted to pimp my gs, i would have gone on mtv's pimp my ride!  

Jet, did you mean 5 solid spokes or 5 spokes with the split tips?...making it kind of a 10 spoke but they still call them 5 spokes.

Kind of confusing, I know.  

dom, don't make me change it to 4 spokes...  

I like the 5 or 6 spokes and those splitting 5 spoke ones I dont care too muhc for those but I'd say its better than the 10 spoke ... More spokes means the spokes can be smaller and hence lighter. The old Yamaha super wide 3 spoke with 3 big holes in each of those ... that was nice.
Cool.
Srinath.

Here's a fairly conservative 6 spoke
PVM 6-spoke

i like 6 too

Quote from: stefman722i like 6 too

you like everything...

Not everything my friend.  :kiss:

the first one and last for, the others, no thanks, remind me of moped wheels from a tomas or puuch

Srinath, want 16" rims? i still have that 86 Ninja 600 sitting here, both wheels are 16" anti dive front Airforks, and air rear shock, perfect gauge cluster too.

I got NInna 600 rim as well ... and they will be faaar too muhc work to fit on a GS, I was really hoping they'd fit cos the belt part will be easy then ... I just buy Vulcan 800 ones from scootworks ... anyway I can manage the belt one way or another ... the 16 wheel might be shelved unless I get the billet guy to make me some ... looks like it might not happen either ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Hey actually I would like a ex500 88-96 I think rear wheel ... werase thought it might fit the GS.
Cool.
Srinath.

Hey, I want to make a bunch of wheels worse than any of you.  But it is going to take a long time to sort this out.  You will all be the first ones to know when I get 'er done.

I'm going to start a company. . . get rich. . . make movies. . .

Show me all the blueprints.  Show me all the blueprints. . .show me all the blueprints. . .

BTW Jetswing. . .If we can figure out how to make a 20 spoke, trust me . . .

I WILL!!!!

greeeat...i'll be pimpin then  

I guess I would have to ask; what kind of software does your table use or what kind of files would you need...what format?  I mess around in AutoCad a bit and could make up some designs but most of the cnc routing I have had done was actually designed in Adobe Illustrator(wierd, I know...it's a vector thing...)  

So, what is the cut depth on the Z axis?(very important)  Do you plan to cut the axle first, pin it down, mill one half, flip it, and mill the other side?  I remember seeing them use an automated mill with a 360 degree rotary table when I saw them cutting wheels on OCC....just thinking, because it might be difficult to get a true wheel from a solid block unless you can manage to pin it down to the table some how....and then another concern arises when you flip the wheel over to mill the other side, aligning everything perfectly and what not....  I would consider making a male piece that looks like a cog that bolts to the table and a corresponding female piece that is milled into the wheel so you know that when you flip the blank over the halves will align.

adobe illustrator? how do you make a wheel from a 2d drawing?  :dunno:

i don't know...a chisel and a hammer might be the way to go...

jack d, i'm willing to pay what ever! btw, i want 30 spokes, no more, no less! please hurry! my gs needs a new phat wheel!

Jet,

Well, I have only had a few jobs that required any special attention to the Z axis, so I would send the file to the cnc routing company and they program the specific cut depths.

I was just asking what format the files needed to be in so I could send him a file that could actually be useful, not just a pretty picture.

Not to mention that JakeD will probably need to utilize several different angled bits so that the wheels don't have razor sharp 90 degree corners all over the place.  Also, they would tend to look chintzy if he only uses a standard flute end/side mill bit.

OK I am betting that jetswing here hocks his ride loooong before we even get a whiff of the new 30 spoke wheels ...
BTW How is that exhaust jetswing ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Dom:

You might be the man with the plan!  And as luck would have it, they guy that is going to help me make these wheels lives in Seattle.  I'll be up there in 19 days then we head to Whistler to snowboard for a week.  

I'll pm you and get your e-mail address so I can at least get some more advice.  Maybe you can help us design the first one!

i haven't even begun to put in on...i've took off my wheel get them painted and i'm way too busy to even go back to it till next month...it's sitting in a storage without both wheels...

i sure could use a 30 spoke rear wheel about now...
