Hopefully you notice a difference. I'm interested to see the results.

Going on this one.

One guy I know just ordered the exact same ones and he really noticed the difference. He also has a Busa. There's a 7 lb. difference between the stock ones and CZ's.

I'm telling you, she runs pretty strong for a bike with over 60,400 miles on it.

Forgot to mention that I'm getting a brand new Vortex rear sprocket in black and a new chain.

Tye, I have Marchesnis on my TLR, and I noticed the difference with lighter wheels before I was 5 feet out of the driveway. I'll let you take it for a spin when I bring it down.

Ya honestly, it's hard to really ask your sportbikers, seeing is how I only have a 250lb bike to play with, I don't know if they'd make enough of a difference to justify them on the tard.

The only REAL justification I can see is I wouldn't need to run a tube. However after my first tire/tube change, it isn't much more of a hassle when changing tires.

I heard it's really noticeable when you have lighter wheels. One guy with a Busa said it felt like a smaller bike.

Received a call from HPC this afternoon telling me that the wheels had arrived. Made an appointment Thursday of next week. We'll see how the weather is.
