Re: Wheel swap time
Does the rear sprocket off the storm wheel fit the blade one, what about the disc?

Yes all the same :-)
Re: Wheel swap time
Spindles the same size then? Be interested how easy the blade rear is to fit. Might be a easy mod.

Re: Wheel swap time

Re: Wheel swap time
I weighed mine when I fitted them- weighed the old wheel/tyre and then swapped the same tyre onto the new six- and it was lighter.
No-one seemed to believe me when I reported this on Superhawk forum, so perhaps you could do the same check?

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I'd weigh all wheels with no tyres or discs on them. Even if they are lighter it's not by muchtony.mon wrote:I weighed mine when I fitted them- weighed the old wheel/tyre and then swapped the same tyre onto the new six- and it was lighter.

Re: Wheel swap time
Front wheel I've got coming
This is not a blade wheel but its dam close to the rear. When they black you would never know.
It was cheaper then the blade wheel to!
Think it's vfr750
