....but look good on BST wheels. Snowing outside, got bored so I mounted the Bridgestone BT016 tires.

When you said you reckon they would increase your speed we didn't think it was from having no brakes

(in envious voice) ... yeah they look ok

Front brakes are highly overrated, flat trackers don't need them. Actually I was just test fitting the wheels and have put the stock wheels back on. Will wait until Spring to put them back on, maybe by then I'll figure out what exhaust system to get.

Mooner, this has to stop. Your beuatiful pics are going to end my marriage. I have the older style BSTs on my RC51 and each time I see the BST Mamba on the HM, I am one step closer to buying them, moving back in with my parents and a family court judge granting me visitation rights to my daughter.

I like the way the HM has melted the snow underneath it...even standing still, the HM is one HOT bike.

Given its price/benefit ratio, I think CF on motorcycles is one of the most over-rated materials in the modern era, except when used for wheels.

CF wheels are a grand slam in my book resulting in less total weight, rotating mass AND less unsprung weight. Plus they look super cool.

I want some. I need some. I must have...
