What ever happened to the new hi-tec rear wheel that we got a glimpse of a few months ago?I was wondering if there was anymore talk about it. Anyone remember that? | ||
| Jrfitzny |
They accidentally posted pictures of the new wheels on this site and I believe they were removed. | ||
| Boogiman1981 |
so is there somewhere else a person could view this wheel? | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
it is possible that a few badwebbers saved the pic when it was posted briefly...its possible that one of them could send you a pic... Jake | ||
| Jdugger |
put me on the list for a copy of that pic, please. | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
its easier to send with an email....cant do attachments in pms... Jake | ||

What wheel? | ||
| Tbolt98 |
Yeah... what wheel? And why can't it just be put back up here if someone has a pic? | ||
| Puzzled |
You have me curious now.......... | ||

IIRC- an Anony posted it, said it would have been on the production Barracuda, & would have been several pounds lighter than the XB/1125 wheel. The pic was quickly taken down, so I figure that means the design belongs to E-B-R and is not yet patented. | ||

What? This wheel?  If so I really do hope Erik Buell Racing can make them cause I really want one! | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
no..not even close its COMPLETELY different, only like 2 or 3 pounds heavier than magnesium race wheel!! Jake | ||
| Puzzled |
^^^^^ The mag wheels were 3 1/2 pounds lighter for the rear and 2 1/2 pounds lighter for the front according to the Buell catalog. The E B R site shows the front at 2 pounds lighter. | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
i couldnt remember the exact weight savings but its almost on par with the mags....its MUCH lighter than a conventional wheel Jake | ||
| Spank |
It was pointed out to me when I was at E.B. Racing this past summer. It would be hard to describe in words. | ||
| Puzzled |
Lighter is lighter! Mag. wheels drop about 6 pounds. C.F. wheels drop about 11 pounds. | ||

We've been seeing the B2 and that wheel for quite a while... so is that it or is there something super awesome we all missed? | ||
| Zac4mac |
Back wheel looks the same. Front, way thinner "spokes" hollow in the center. That wheel would be a lot lighter than mine. My wheel, with tire and disc, is lighter than a normal H-D TIRE! Might have to start saving for that wheel... | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
the back wheel in the pic is NOT the actual wheel for production Jake | ||

Oops, I just noticed you guys were talking about a REAR wheel not a front wheel. I posted that Barracuda picture because of the front wheel. I love that front wheel. I know the 1190rr has a different rear wheel. Are they anything like the one you guys are talking about?  I like that wheel but it doesn't match the front, which kinda bugs me. | ||
| Not_purple_s2 |
Nevermind.... that wheel is made by PVM not Erik Buell Racing Now I'm REALLY curious | ||
| Puzzled |
What do the stock wheels weigh? I know the rear with the pulley, bearings and rotor weigh in at 21 pounds.   The PVM 6 spokes weigh 8.59 pounds for the rear and 5.95 pounds for the front. | ||

Please email me the picture if you have it (anyone) I'd really appreciate it! garrett.ray.owens@gmail.com | ||

here's the link for the specs of the B2 wheel, engine, price, release date and some details on the triple that was in the works code named "sugar" http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/571747.html?1276217787 Enjoy and Try not to cry... Jake | ||

That is how much the whole frame/tank weights. | ||
| Bertman |
Check out the rear wheel on the Typhon 1190. Is that the one you are talking about? | ||
| Jdugger |
That's a PVM on the 1190. | ||

So, other that being lighter, anything else special about this wheel? | ||
| Skntpig |
Just some very unconventional looks. | ||
| Drhodes1970 |
Yes, very unconventional. It's not what I would call a " spoked wheel". |
