Yeh, I agree - I can't remember who I sold the OZ's to, ebay job I think.

I did replace them with the carbon dymags, but they didn't look as good.

I did also get some other black fairings in carbon for her that had number boards on them.

I reckon the picture was when she looked her best, numberboards would have just finished her off nicely too. (and some 54mm termis).

I do have some black fairings for my new 996R too!!! Watch this space.

Pic of the carbon fairings and dymags (at a moist Brands)

tim what a stunning bike and those wheels looked awesome, dare i ask how much for a set ??

The OZ's were not too bad (relatively) - circa £850 - the carbon Dymags have magnesium rims and were priced around the £1300 mark.

carbon rims mag centres.
im fussy I know :lol:

Doh!!! That's what I meant!! ;)

Carbon rims and magnesium centres - a sure fire recipe for galvanic corrosion!
One bit of salty electrolyte on that interface and you will find the magnesium turning to powder in a BIG way...reducing structural integrity of the joint and seriously effecting the safety of the wheel.

NOT recommended for anything but a pampered trackday/Sunday afternoon rocket ship - that's why Tim had them!!! :lol::lol:

Looking the dogs though!

there bolted together.
never seen a broken set

Keefer,
I'm not saying that they will break, just that the material combination is not ideal for all weather/all year round riding.
The fact that the wheels are bolted together does not make a big difference - in fact if the anodising of the spokes is carried out before the bolt holes are drilled, this will allow corrosion to start even quicker!
