Could be worth a punt for someone. I was tempted until I reread it and realise they're for a 1000.

BST 'Blade wheels and wets.

Thinking of it as two sets of wets, a nice set of front discs, rear disc and sprocket and a free set of carbon wheels makes it look like good value.

You can make these fit, especially with a 954 USD fornt end or later.
However the front is a 16.5inch wheel, which severely limits road tyre choices.
Ok for track use, though with the Blade forks already being lower then std, you might start running into ground clearance issues.
There's a nice OZ set going for £500 atm as well, but there the rear is 16.5 inch, and the front 17.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Started to think about that then realised I'm having a hard enough time just getting my standard 'storm back on the road.

I thought about a set of 16.5 wheels but tyres are really hard to find and much more expensive
