fatblokeonbandit Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Are the spoked wheels ducati ones ??? Nope Triumph, the front a Thunderbird sport wheel, the only twin disc 17 x 3.5 incher,, The rear is a hub from the same but it was only 4.5 inches, I had a stainless 5.5 inch rim made and fitted. Cost a bloomin' fortune but worth it I think,,,??? I'm still not 100% convinced about them.. 1 Quote Link to comment

fatblokeonbandit Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 anyway, after much family visiting and doing a track day at Pempray in the pissing rain, time to crack on shiny sparkly clean mikkies, care of Mcmental fitted the remote tick over adjuster from a gsxr as well all know what a pian bandit carbs are got my down pipes back from froudys polishing shop Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Shiney pipes I had trouble with the small carbon can and the noise tests at cadwell, so I got a scuffed 50mm can off of e**y and chopped it down, fake Yoshi badge and Voila much easier to baffle and keep quite for the tests.

markfoggy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Loving the spokes, just tried to PM you about an alternative, but rules say No.Has anybody else spotted this.http://www.isrbrakes.se/products/hubs/13-026.shtmlWhat's the story on the Talon Hubs then, I want to hang one in the back of a project that I'm working on. How is it for cush drive? Quote Link to comment

How is it for cush drive?No idea bout talon hubs apart from they are fookin' expensive, a twin disc hub was nearly £400 on its own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those ISR hubs are 8,880 Swedish kroner for a rear with cush drive, I think that's £870 pounds But I could be wrong.... thsi is why I used triumph wheels much cheaper but still expensive Quote Link to comment
kiwi Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I agree with Gary aftermarket hubs are very expensive , but having looked into this for another bike there is other alternatives out there you just have to do your homework.And in most cases you'll end having to make or get made custom sized spacers and such.

I have some experience of custom spacers etc. I'm planning on making everything QD on the project that I'm in the planning stages of, though QD might be a little limited as I'm not gonna go bending out a swingarm just for shits and giggles. Certainly it'll all be on captives, not just ones that pop into the wheel bearing seals, plus cups and ramps to make life easy.Devon Rim company are listing Talon Triumph hubs at quite a bit less than that. I'm kinda planning on getting the hubs mounted first, sorting the brakes properly and then building the rim and spoke set later to spread the costs a bit. Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 The triumph thunderbird hub is £250 with no discs or anything, so with discs and vat its well ovef £400, i got the complete twin disc thunderbird front for £295 from Eblag, i made all the spacers a d fitted non standard hond* wheel bearings to fit theR1 spindle, vfr discs were £80ish.? The rear was the really expensive bit, Doug at devon wheels built it, loverly job 1 Quote Link to comment
