What ever happened to the new hi-tec rear wheel that we got a glimpse of a few months ago?I was wondering if there was anymore talk about it. Anyone remember that? |

They accidentally posted pictures of the new wheels on this site and I believe they were removed. |

it is possible that a few badwebbers saved the pic when it was posted briefly...its possible that one of them could send you a pic... Jake |

IIRC- an Anony posted it, said it would have been on the production Barracuda, & would have been several pounds lighter than the XB/1125 wheel. The pic was quickly taken down, so I figure that means the design belongs to E-B-R and is not yet patented. |

^^^^^ The mag wheels were 3 1/2 pounds lighter for the rear and 2 1/2 pounds lighter for the front according to the Buell catalog. The E B R site shows the front at 2 pounds lighter. |

It was pointed out to me when I was at E.B. Racing this past summer. It would be hard to describe in words. |

Lighter is lighter! Mag. wheels drop about 6 pounds. C.F. wheels drop about 11 pounds. |

We've been seeing the B2 and that wheel for quite a while... so is that it or is there something super awesome we all missed? |

Back wheel looks the same. Front, way thinner "spokes" hollow in the center. That wheel would be a lot lighter than mine. My wheel, with tire and disc, is lighter than a normal H-D TIRE! Might have to start saving for that wheel... |

Oops, I just noticed you guys were talking about a REAR wheel not a front wheel. I posted that Barracuda picture because of the front wheel. I love that front wheel. I know the 1190rr has a different rear wheel. Are they anything like the one you guys are talking about? I like that wheel but it doesn't match the front, which kinda bugs me. |

Nevermind.... that wheel is made by PVM not Erik Buell Racing Now I'm REALLY curious |

What do the stock wheels weigh? I know the rear with the pulley, bearings and rotor weigh in at 21 pounds. The PVM 6 spokes weigh 8.59 pounds for the rear and 5.95 pounds for the front. |

Check out the rear wheel on the Typhon 1190. Is that the one you are talking about? |

That's a PVM on the 1190. |

So, other that being lighter, anything else special about this wheel? |

Just some very unconventional looks. |

Yes, very unconventional. It's not what I would call a " spoked wheel". |
