    Has anyone purchased these wheels from cycle One-off, and if so what's your opinion (link below)? Apparently they can be used with the stock vmax swingarm and will fit up to 190 tyre which sounds a lot cheaper then buying the braced and notched swingarm, then going out and buying a wheel...

    Swingarm project

    Swingarm project is done, + 80mm from stock and if you look carefully it is somewhat different from stock. Really happy with the outcome as everything worked out well. I've dreamed up a few variations for the next ones.
