Japser, I've got a local guy who's been doing mine. Also does all the ally before I get it anodised. Try the yellow pages.

That duke looks really good rob, you must have put some serious hours on the bike mate.
Great stuff.

cheers

looks like you need a rear wheel mate, I have a source that had two complete sets a while back.
I'll give him a bell, see if there still for sale.

Just wetted the carbon with 15 litres of Essos' finest and enjoyed the Termi rumble for the first time in months. Ehhhh, warms the cockels......

Does anyone know how Rob's new wheel compares to the ST4S 5-spoke marchenisi's, re weight /size etc?

Cheers, Paul

Paul,

The alloy ST4s wheels are heavier. I have the exact weights somewhere (search on Shazamm's posts) but I seem to remember that the 5 spoke allys are only a pound or so lighter than the 3 spoke brembos. I'll let you know about the ST4s rear dimensions in a week or so. I was hoping it'd be a drop in (with bearing changes) but I am now having some doubt. The front is easy, new bearings and a machined monster speedo drive, Job done.

Rgds, Rob

Rob,that bearing change isn`t that straight forward,if you look at the "customer race bikes" the rear spindles are the larger size,so one option is to machine the swingarm holes instead,I know baines have done this before.This would be reasonably straight forward and then use later monster chain adjusters.

Graham,
Why do you say "that bearing change isn`t that straight forward"? Do you have some knowledge of particular issues? If you do, I wouldn't mind a call to chat it over.

Rgds, Rob
