After a long much overdue wait (deployment, powder, finding a wheel builder in Sacramento area), tomorrow I am picking up my 23" front and stock 17" rear after being powder coated, laced and trued. Just have to take them my tires for mounting and balancing. So I should have them on by tomorrow afternoon and FINALLY have the bike of the jack. Pictures to come very soon!!

 

Can wait to see how those wheels look! I know you've been waiting a long time to get them done. Make sure you post up plenty of pics once they're on!

 

Ditto, can't wait to see them! To me wheels would be the icing on the cake for any build

 

Are you going to use Dyna Beads to balance the tires so you don't have big ugly weights on your badass new wheels?

 

Well thought I was going to be able to put the bike on the ground today. They didn't have the inner tubes for the wheels, they are on order now though so maybe by next weekend. But here they are powder coated, laced and trued. Need to get them on and check all my spacing.

 

Hmm, I'd bet a man could obtain and mount one of those sweet black Lyndal discs in that time That'd be swweeeettttttttt!!!

 

Haha if my budget allowed then I'd go with a 13" rotor. That's down the road. I just want to get back to riding for now. Got a few electrical things to finish up so while waiting for tubes I can get that all done.

 

Wheels look good! I wonder if the 23" wheel will affect handling at all?

 

yes it will.

a 23in wheel is quite a bit of wheel.

 

Definitely will be different coming from a 100/90-19. But I guess we will see!!!
