Was checking out the VMax Outlaw site and saw the Kosman 17" conversion for the VMax rear rim. Does anyone make an 18" rim conversion along the same lines?

There is a form in .PDF flavor that you can fill out for what you want. they can put together just about anything.
I'm going with a 17 this fall. Got the money put aside already, just waiting for riding to end. Just a little over 2 months left.
Is there any other reason your going 17inch versus 18 just cause there are more tire choices?
Lower final drive!
Kosman also makes an 18" version. I have one that I had powdercoated black and added pinstripes to match the paint. Sorry for the poor quality of the last two pics. Taken at night inside my garage under fluorescent light.
Very nice stripeing job m-cman!! I've tried putting those on and it's not easy, ended up looking like a 'red slug trail'! :biglaugh:
Yours look perfect!! :thumbs up:

One thing to remember, the 18" sticks farther into the swingarm so a 180 tire will not fit without swingarm mods.

Thanks for the info! BTW, you get a fairly decent riding season if you still have over 2 months to go.

Not true, my Carrs have a 180/55-18 with no swing arm mods, no washer swap and fit just fine with the tiniest of offset.
Thanks for the info and the pics. Looks great! How do you like it?
Blaine
I like it fine. The quality is great and the wheel is centered and looks great. It is heavy though. I heard Kosman is using a different wheel for the Max now and it may be lighter.
M-cman, do you have any more pictures of your rear wheel and what size tire do you run.
