Polycarbonate "see through" wheels - SV650.org

01-02-07, 10:39 AM

Morning,

any of you ladies and gentlemen who want to show off your 8 piston monblock calipers can now hit your whip with some polycarbonate see through Radurra wheels from Forgiato. Is this the end of complex dungeons and dragons inspired alloys? Heaven forbid!

On something like a limited edition MV they would look the dogs (or not, in this case

)

The car ones would be a nightmare to clean.
You'd have to take them off every time.

A bit pricey for the SV, and not sure if they do it in the correct size, there's only 20 or 22 inch on the site!

Has anyone chopped an SV naked?

Dunno, I've seen a chopped TL1000s though and it looked alright. The engine doesn't really look pretty enough for a chopper IMO, but powerwise it should be fine. The Hyosung Aguila (which uses a copy of an SV650 engine) is regularly praised as a better lump than most Harleys' by the mags.

Those wheels look (well, not that you can see them!) quite nice. As others have said though, the effect would be ruined if you didn't clean them thoroughly all the time. Nice for show bikes, but think even on a weekend toy the slight scuffs/marks would quickly make it more a misty translucent that truly transparent.
