    Thanks, but I already looked there. I am really just after some pics of this on the bike.

    Coerce Racing Carbon Fiber Windscreen

    Anyone have one of these on their bike? If so could you share some pics of it installed. I am having a real hard time finding any other pictures than these. I am looking to maybe get one but not sure if I really like it or not. Thanks

    Stock and Modified

    Nice thread! I only think that you should have used the same dyno. Every dyno displays a little differently, your comparison would be more accurate when using the same dyno.

    Front wheels

    Can an 85 front wheel be used on a 97 Vmax? I not sure, i know things were changed in 93 with the fork diameter and brakes. I am not totally sure to what extent , though. I want to use my stock 97 brake components but was worried the wheel hub may be a different width than the 85.

    **New Kosman 18" Weldup Wheel**

    Price from Kosman for the modification $595. Cost of powdercoating locally $140. I reused the bearings but replaced the seals so i have about $10 in seals. For a total of about $750 + shipping to and from Kosman. Other than that nothing extra but the cost of the tire.

    **New Kosman 18" Weldup Wheel**

    Chris, I got them from Exactrep. Their kinda pricy, but they set the bike off and perform well too. They shipped really fast, 4 days from the UK.

    **New Kosman 18" Weldup Wheel**

    I had to use the washer swap method to gain enough spacing. In doing this I was left with about 1/16" of clearance to the drive side of the swingarm. The wheel was also a lot more challenging to install. I put the bike on the center stand and removed the stock rear wheel. The brake rotor was...

    **New Kosman 18" Weldup Wheel**

    The rubber dampers survived powdercoating! The wheel is now all gloss black and soon I will mount up the tire. I am going to install it within the next week or so. I will post more pics.

    **New Kosman 18" Weldup Wheel**

    IMO I would buy some rubber pieces how much can they cost? 25.00? Remove the ones you have, and have the rim powder coated. I am not worried about the cost of them, its how the heck to get them out? Did you ever remove these before? I guess there is some type of extracting tool needed to...

    **New Kosman 18" Weldup Wheel**

    Do you own or work at a powdercoating facility? If so, about how many wheels have survived powder coating without damage to the rubber dampers? Well, if they are not going to cause a problem I will definitly go with powdercoat. Anyone esle have their wheel powder coated with the rubber dampers...

    **New Kosman 18" Weldup Wheel**

    I actually want to go with powdercoat but am not sure how to extract the rubber dampers that are pressed in. I have tried to mess with them a little but they dont seem like they are going to come out very easy. Im pretty sure they wont withstand that type temperature. A local powder coater told...

    **New Kosman 18" Weldup Wheel**

    Yeah, I am painting the whole thing black. The wheel is actually not to heavy at all. The shipping weight on the UPS box said 23lbs and that includes the box and shipping materials. I just perfer the look of the 18" over a 17". Plus what I have heard, it keeps the bike feeling pretty stock RPM...

    **New Kosman 18" Weldup Wheel**

    Sandy has just built this wheel for me! It is an OEM wheel that has been widened. To my knowledge this is the first wheel built by Sandy in this fashion. He previously built the bolt up 17" wheel and is now thinking of going with all weldup wheels for the Vmax. No longer producing the boltup? It...

    Carbon fiber front fenders

    Are there any other manufactures that produce a carbon fiber front fender for the Vmax other than the MEK fender?? Or maybe a carbon fiber reproduction of the original fender style?

    Has anyone here tried one of these wheels yet?

    *UPDATE* He decided after he saw the wheel for himself, that he would refund my money. Paypal is definetly the safe way to go when purchasing on the internet. After all, Greg seemed to be a standup guy by offering a refund to me in full. I think if I go with the radial out back I am going to use...

    Has anyone here tried one of these wheels yet?

    Yes, I have checked the specs in the service manual from Yamaha. It states a Radial runout limit of 1mm = (.040) and Lateral runout limit of .5mm=(.020)! Right before that it says " Over the specified limits Replace" Again mine is at .059 lateral and .022 axial which is outside both limits...
