Blaa's swede-blade

[blaa]

Hello,

This summer i got myself a driverslicense, ofc this started something i couldnt imagine, this thing for bikes has always been there but not like this.

So i bought myself a blade -94 and so the journey has started.

This thread will show my journey to the summer when hopefully all my ideas has been done to this beautiful machine!

First thing is to mount a vfr sssa, so thats what im up to right now, changing all the bearings in it so i can enjoy this fantastic piece of work all summer...

http://www.teamdynamicsracing.com/pro-race/Pro-race12.htm
I would also recommend a (Conti Race Attack-240/40-18)tyre to the rim :o)

[rapid_blader]

um i'm sorry, i didn't see that you had bought a 17inc tyre with 180/190 width?,,then the 17x7 with et35 is good 4 a 190/200/210 setup,i think 180 rubber will be to small 4 a 7 width rim? here s a tyre calk
http://www.motorcycleproshop.com/tires/metzeler/me880.asp
With +ET higher than 20 u should buy a converting spacer 4x100 to 4x100 on ebay?

[blaa]

If your friend doesnt want it any more let me know :P

[blaa]

How much is the cost for one of them?
At store or online?

[CBRRRT]

Dont buy any spacers or studs blaa, as I think you will have everything you need to do the job when your parcel arrives mate ;)

Dont know if this little tip will help Bjórn, but when I was trying
to get my spacers to fit exact on the studs they kept moving a tiny
bit from each other when I put my wheel on. To get over this I used
double sided sticky tape to fix them together.

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1271071107.jpg

[blaa]

You always help Jon!

Did you have any problem to center the wheel? did it auto center with help from the nuts?
