Ok here we go guy selling brand new pair of Dayton RC Components polished. he want 900$ i offered 800$ he said he will take 850$ he says have sprockets on them. my ? are they worth it? i did a search & see they cost about 1400$ brand new but are there any known prblms with them? anyone have a pic of a bike with them on there? did a search here & nothing came up. i plan on getting the powdercoated black maybe. sorry cant say where i found them until i decide if i want them or not them i will give info incase someone wants them.

i have no experience with them, i think they look sweet though!

looks like you're only like 25minutes from me. we should get together sometime.

I paid $1200 for those wheels used in chrome not polished. I think a set of polished went for $800 sometime last fall in here.

I have a set on my bike currently and they are great.

cat can you share a pic.

Hib anytime you right down 95 from me.

Ya, i actually live in greenbelt. I usually don't get the bike out except on the weekends. What you doing this weekend? I've got a nice 4day break off work.

this my weekend to work. phones have to get fixed they dont take a holiday. lol. but next weekend im free.

Go figure. Next weekend I'm heading down to bama to visit the wife's family. lol. Well, with how close you are, i'm sure we could get together some time.

i agree

IIRC those wheels weigh more than the stockers.

honestly not concerned with weight. if i was looking to lighten the bike up i would lose 20lbs myself. lol

I am not sure of the weight however I doubt they weigh more. Not sure how to post pics?

I used to have the RC Sebrings on my 12 until I switched it up and went with a fat tire. They were great wheels except mine were chrome and they started to chip (cheap chrome job). I think you would be happy with them. I don't have any good pics with the wheels on the bike though.

thanks everyone im picking them up on fri. didnt realize he was selling them with brand new tires also so that sealed the deal for me. not sure what kinda of tires yet but will post pics when i pick them up.

can i get a vortec sprocket for these wheels?

Use Sprocket Specialist sprockets

I know the rear with a MT slick is 3.5 lbs lighter than the stock with a slick

nice bike! crazy that it has a stock exhaust, lol!

Nice bike.... ( gotta get exhaust though - lol )

Hey, who makes the wire mesh inserts on the sides / bottom of your fairing?
( yeah I know I could make some from scratch, but I have too damn many things "to do" already...)

Thanks,
D

Only one front rotor??

I did em on my katana. They arent made, you make em. Home depot or lowes, its actually gutter mesh. What this guy didnt do was paint his, he should have painted em. Attach em with an epoxy, like liquid nail. simple, cheap and easy. Just wear gloves when you cut the mesh or u might lose a lot of blood, ask me how I know. Gutter mesh, tin snips and an epoxy total cost?? 20 bucks. These arent mine but are from the thread where I stole the idea from.

That's not my bike

Yup, I've been doing that same trick with the gutter mesh for about 7 years now. Hehehehe. I've made insert pieces out of the stuff for at least 4 of my bikes I've had in that time, including the 12. Making them for the 12 was a bit of a pain in the ass though due to the big hoses towards the top of the big side openings. I don't usually paint mine, FWIW, as silver is usually the contrasting color that I want.

I contemplated the mesh mod for my 12, but I agree the hoses etc dont make it appear easy. I might do it one day if I have the plastics off. I think black would look good with my green monster.

chav funny u said sprocket specialist cause the guy i bought them from gave me that kinda sprocket.

will post some pics in a few getting floors sanded & house a mess.

i have decided im going to get them powdercoated black chrome. for those that wonder how black chrome look hell i didnt no what it look like till i did a search.

I like black chrome, but I've never heard of it as a powder-coated finish. Are you sure the wheel pictured is a POWDER-COATED finish, and not real black chrome??? That just looks too good to be powder-coat to me. Hope I'm wrong though.

not sure if that was a powder coated wheel it was just the color but this one is

was going with black chrome but coater told me the sample from 3 different companys never really looked that good so i went with a hi gloss black. what you think? will post better pics 2mrrw. just in case someone ask it cost me 100$ a wheel & too me it was well worth it

sweet!
