BST’s fitted and S22’s

That's the beauty of the carbon wheels once you've got a set they can usually be able to fit to most bikes with spacers or they hold their money and you can sell them on.

They look awesome 

I’m pretty chuffed with it! 

perhaps.

Unfortunately I just fell through Racebolts titanium catalogue so have some front caliper bolts, rear disc bolts and pinch bolts on their way. Already have the chain adjusters. 

Looks like the speedo pick up is off the abs sensor so I don’t need steel disc bolts on the rear as a bonus. 

Anyway Jim…you did ask dude! 

Cheers dude 

Yours is mint too! 

I’m sure your trumpet would be more than welcome with you. 

Managed to get out this afternoon down to Bristol , back through Bath and Chippenham. 

Maybe it’s the electronic suspension but I didn’t notice the lighter wheels oddly, but tyres felt fine. 

Naturally, I wasn’t going hell for leather, but felt planted and quick warm up, as you lads mentioned. 

Got my lad for a couple of weeks but hope to have a good bank hol weekend with luck 

On the Tuono with its cast rims I expected to really notice. But as you say the electronic voodoo must of been playing ball. Plus I was merely cruising. 

Fingers crossed for a decent spell of weather 

You mean you raised the front a ring? Confusing terminology isn't it ha.

That's always put me off (that and the price) of fancy wheels. Maybe being on the larger side and possibly lacking some fine motor skills finesse I've always preferred a bit of reassuring weight to the steering. I equate it with the feeling of grip. I've currently got my forks flush with the top clamp. Gen 1 mille that is. I thought if I got lighter wheels I'd probably have to get an RSV4 front end or something to get a little less offset to extend the trail out some more to overcome the agility.

Of course what you are really feeling is the extra effort caused by the gyroscopic effect of the heavier wheels rather than tyre grip. Lighter wheels will allow you to better feel the changing grip levels.

Yes I did fit it. It was mega easy Tbf. I used those solderless crimp type connectors with heat shrink tubing. You can also use the ones with the solder in that melt as another option. 

What I do, is retain the oem connector by snipping the wires with plenty of cable. That way also if you ever wanted to stick the original pieces back on you can just snip out your connector and rejoin again with fresh connectors. 

Whatever you decide ensure the oem plug fits through any of the holes they need to on the tail tidy. If they do no issue, but if it’s a squeeze pass the wires through before crimping/solder etc. 

Hopefully that makes sense. What you do have is a mass of cable left over as the cables run a good foot plus further along the bike into the rear bracket before. I just wrapped them up neat under the seat in case I ever swapped back to it. You could cut it off if you chose of course.
