I have to ask PVM. But i think for the Alu-wheels 1.400 - 1.500 €. Mag-wheels i don't know.
I will speek to PVM. I must know how many sets. The front wheel is the same as the stock one and
rear wheel will fit plug and play.

I know all the guys who bought this wheel and i know it was more than 1750 $ for a set. Luis is one
of them, he helps me with my rvf. And it is not the 6 spoke wheel.

From memory the story is the 5 spoke dymag patterns are damaged and that means they are very unlikely to be made again. As such the choice is 3 spoke dymag and pvm.

I never liked the y spoke in the hawk forum but it shows pvm are willing to work with small orders and after seeing Michaels wheels I think they are bang on, the 6 spoke being a fantastic design keeping in character with the originals. It would be good to see how they all compare weight wise. Personally I think thin wall ali is better long term than mag.

There is another option or two - use g force uni contacts to design and analyse a wheel design and have them made. If mag then casting options are easy as there is only 1 mag foundry left in the uk then just machining left to sort out. If ali then there are a few chinese oem suppliers who would be able to tool up quite reasonably and bring price down. I guess this is just a dream but an investment by someone could secure a long term future for supply for these great bikes
