Ohlins forks, thats easy... But what are the wheels??? I thought the infamous Buell Racing wheels looked the same as the standard XB wheels but made of Magnesium. Am I wrong? Are these Buell Racing magnesium wheels, or some aftermarket company that utilize the ZTL brake?  | ||

The XBRR wheels look like stockers, but are lighter and more fragile because, as you said, they're mags. Those look like one-off machined wheels. WOW. Had to be exensive. Got anymore pics of the whole bike? (Message edited by buellinachinashop on September 26, 2008) | ||

That's the only pic I've got, I stole it from the Ohlins forks ebay actions. | ||

Maybe someone with a better monitor can read the link on the side of the picture. I think it says SPROCKETWERKS.ORG but that's not a good site. | ||

is that some sorta reducing bushing to get the wheel to fit on a Buell axel? The ugly gray thing? or justa spacer? I don't think that's a Buell wheel. But I'm right only 10% of the time. | ||

sprocketwerks.net I think. | ||

Not a Buell wheel. That whole bike is a custom with single sided swing arm.  It'll be a little harder than locating the wheel. | ||

The wheels are Marchesini, with ZTL mounts welded on both sides. The bike was built by Brian Peterson.  | ||

It'll be a little harder than locating the wheel. Oh I didn't want the wheels, I was just curious. Thanks for posting the bigger picture! | ||

Evidently he parks his bike where Gentleman Jon parks his.  | ||

If you are wanting to do a fork swap, I'd be looking at forks to fit an aftermarket wheel for which you could get a Buell fitting rear. That way you could get a matching front and rear wheel, you could get forks to fit just about any other wheel (Yamaha, Honda, Ducati, etc.) that would have a brake set-up you liked. You'd end up with a traditional dual disc set-up, but it'd be a lot easier to find parts. You'd have to fab up less. I would LOVE to build a tuber with XB wheels. Some one did that here. It was AWESOME! | ||

I'd like to go the other way. Tube to XB. | ||

I wish some one would do a aftermarket wheel.. | ||

"I'd like to go the other way. Tube to XB." I agree. Those Performance Machine wheels were one of the things I like about Tubers. | ||

That bike is awesome! I may have weird taste but I love the look of that bike. I wonder how it would be to live with? | ||

It's basically a "Bucati", and it's totally awesome. He could probably sell a few sets of those wheels if he cobbled up some more- not cheap, but definitely worth it. | ||

I like the rear brake...that's a crazy cool idea. |
