spoked rims on vf1000f

Has any one put spoked rims on a 1985 vf1000f

 

spoked as in what..CBR wheels?

 

Why! you think this is a BMW G spot:frusty::frusty::frusty::shower::crazy::crazy:

 

Spokes

You talkin like these?
Set of 60 Spoke Chrome Wheels 250 Wide for Custom Harley
It would be quite pimp like!:biggrin:

 

80 spoke wheels are much better with a rigid frame!

 

I hate to say it but on your bobber/streetfighter vfr I think that spoked rims would be sharp looking but I am sure you will gain some weight...

 

Bobber owners probably do not care about a few ounces here and there just as long as there is NO plastic. Right???

 

I think he is talking about a differant bike.. I don't think his is an 85 1k.

I wouldn't put spokes on a sport bike... kind of an oxymoron IMHO.

 

The first Honda four cylinder had spokes. Remember the CB400F?
It had a six speed and was fast for its time.

What about the 1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport? Looks good and spokes are short.

 

yes it is a diffrent bike but will be a streetfighter to that is all i build. And yes like harley rims. just trying something new. Dont want a bike like everyone else. thanks for the input.

 

I understand.
The factories love cast wheels. They are easy to make and require a lot less labor. They charge a lot more money too.
Wire wheels are like $250.00-500. and the cast wheels or machined wheels can cost $1500.00 !!!
