Judge carbon, weight loss edition.

[EXBEN]

Since AFR is coming up I thought I would make the ol girl better for the corners, so I put her on a diet starting at the feet . Lost just over 10kg already.

fucking nice whats next carbon frame mate

[EXBEN]

Nah nothing that drastic, just a shave here & a tweak there.

[BANDITROD]

cool looks good what are you doing with the old rims

[Gix11]

Oh fuck, they're nice. What size wheel have you got on the back now? Can't read the trye wall for the tyre size.

[EXBEN]

Keeping them, in case I want to use the carbon wheels on something else...

[EXBEN]

18 x 8.5 rear & the same 260 tyre I had on the old wheels.

[BANDITROD]

fair enough mate

[Gix11]

18 x 8.5 rear & the same 260 tyre I had on the old wheels.

Custom or off the shelf?

[fimpBIKES]

10kg for 10k?
ill have to dig up the footage from following you up the oxley last year, wasn't that slow from memory!

[Deano]

Custom or off the shelf?

Yeah what he asked. Looks good.

[MattyDucati]

Looks sweet Ben, looks very different with the darker wheels.

[sharky]

Less pies and beer.... much cheaper option :)

[Hagarr]

Its a privilege to have seen this bike in the flesh!

Still Number 1 IMO!

[hutch]

looking good Ben ; wonting to put some on myself

[EXBEN]

Ha Ha Fimp If I could afford 10K for wheels I would have built another bike, Boxer scored the rear & a 19" front off a mate of his for a great price ( they are to suit a Vrod ) & the front was on a blade El sammo bought in China, as he didn't have a matching rear he didn't want it, so we got that cheap also, definitely not a straight fit tho, the front was fairly straight forward just needed some custom offset disc carriers & a couple of wheel spacers.
The rear was a prick tho as the Vrod doesn't use a cush drive so I had to make a custom one, & the rear disc had to sit out 30mm from where it was designed to on the wheel, Oh & being for a h?#*%Y all the spacings are imperial ( but the bolt's are metric ??) Closest disc bolt spacing I found was R1, luckily I had a spare Rear Buzz Saw disc liying around.

Wow what a great look for judge ben well done , what a stuff around that was for the rear but over all a great look and I'm sure you will pick up a few extra hp with the light wheels as well

[MONO]

Looks great Ben, where do you find the time.

[FIGHTERMC]

looking as good as ever.
pure horn

[Bob]

Looks good mate, must make a difference?

[ALBI]

great tax write off!!

[RevHead]

great tax write off!!

hahahahahahhaha nice!

[latheboy]

Are you going to give it the full treatment and do carbon everywhere?

It would be interesting to see the before and after weight if you did this.

[EXBEN]

Nah Ivan Im just doing a few bits to shave a few kilos. The tail & front guard were carbon anyway. Wheels have made a huge difference to the handling & I'm running a 70 series front tyre again which has helped also.

[kev@vcm]

After seeing your bike today ben I'm stoked for ya mate JUDGE is looking wicked

[hooligan]

Were the original wheels you made based an a harley design, too?
