Hi All i made a few changes to my bike, recent one is new wheels and tires Cast to Wire,

Personally I think it is a vast improvement .... nice one!

So what are the wheels from or did you have them made up?

Hi,

Nice looking bike. I have the same one and colour. Can you list the parts you have added, and what tyres you have on it. I am still not overly happy with the bike. It seems ok on the road at speed, but slow speed needs lots of rear brake and slipping the clutch. I couldn't imagine it off road. Any tips or advice would be great. Well done with your bike.

Cheers

Mike G.

I am also interested in what tyres you have on there?

Ok wheels,

rear BMW F800Gs standard 17" sourced from James Sherlock (new and used parts) this was used having done about 7k miles

Front BMW F650GS single 19" 2007 model sourced from Ebay friends spotted it knew I was looking and gave me the heads up. but it was the wrong colour I wanted black So Hagons the local wheel and shock builder stripped the plasic coating off of the hub and powder coated them and added heavy duty stainless steel spokes with nickel nipples.

the whole idea came from fellow riders accross the pond Canada and USA it so happens that the F650GS twin for the wheels from F650GS single front and F800GS rear use same spindle, spacers, ABS ring, Brake disc, wheel bearings right down to exacting part numbers.
