dunno about tyres and wheels but the guy who runs the shop is very efficient. Its where I got my motosliders from. He sends em straight away and ya get em within 6 days of order...hows that for service from the U.S, when companies over here don't manage it?

I can't see them?

i think there was a post about this on here before a while back... Someone asking about having a wider section rear mainly for fashion/looks, but the really experienced ppl on here & the guys who understand physics said it could really upset the handling if I remember correctly?... I'll try find the post I'm on about

YC has just come in from the curry hut, when hes filled his face i shall hand him the laptop so he can give his opinion

edit: no need...he says its pointless

oh and dizzee, could you tell chris my front pads have arrived & i think my lines have arrived from hel but they've sent them to my parents house and & mum wasnt in so I'll have to go collect them from royal mail 2morra. I put a note on my paypal payment saying "Please send these to xxxx address" but they didn't see it

Bit pointless but it looks good. Blair's spacer kit should do the job, or you can get an equivalent kit from Twin Works Factory (I like Twin Works myself). That Honda wheel's heavy though, and doesn't match the front. Who is it on here that's got the matched CBR front wheel, Nedsvs? And I think Deeas has Billy's old SV with its 180 rear?

Bandit 1200 wheel is similiarly easy, just needs spacers. I promise some day I'll actually get some sizes for that, I've been saying that since I got my B12 wheel in 2006, but never actually designed the spacers yet.

Mine is getting a CBR fitment Dymag magnesium 5.5 wheel in it Real Soon Now. Mainly for looks, but it'll also give me some weight loss and the wheel matches my front. 120/70 180/55 pairs are cheap and easy to buy used too, which is nice. But it's mainly cosmetic for me.

People who've never tried it will tell you it ruins the handling They are psychic.

the kit on that link is for F3 wheel on curvy.it is more expensive copy of TWF kit.you can get it direct for $35.
180 is not best tire to put on that rim.170 would be better choice.for 180 you want 5.5 rim.

When I picked mine up the guy had fitted a 170 rear, I'll be honest & say it tends to be a bit slower changing direction to standard tyres. Mine is nearly worn out now & I'll be going back to the original size
