Daytona/Sport 1100 Wheel Weights

[Kristian]

Folks,
 
A bit of information to stick in the repository. Bare wheel weights from Teo Lamers for 1st gen. Daytonas and carb Sports, 6-spoke 17"/18"s:

Front: 6.5 Kg.
Rear: 7.7 Kg.

Wow.

while I've never got them near some scales yes !@#$loads would seem about right. I have been tempted to get something else two issues most aftermarket wheels don't come in rear in anything other than 5.5inch meaning a 180 plus tyre, the thing turns slowly enough as it is more rubber isn't going to help. You will also need to go from a 18inch wheel to a 17inch wheel I am concerned this will further exasperate the rear wheel bias the bike has. On top of that its an old bucket of puss and the flash new wheels will be worth as much as the bike.

I have no doubt if I wanted to improve things the wheels would be an excellent place to start providing you had answers to the geometry issues.

If you want to spend $2300, PVM will set you up with an 18" rear; they make gorgeous Neo-classic wheels. Däs Mototec has new triple clamps that sharpen the front geometry; but, like you say, a Sport will never become an R6; and a bike's speed is 90% rider-dependent in the end.

Got a link? I got no love from PVM and others years ago when I enquired.

As far as I know is the 18"range for tonti and older bikes. Not the 160 wide tyre of the daytona.
A complete wheel with tyre and disk rear is 13kg for the daytona.
In the old days, PVM made 17"three spoke wheels that were the must haves. I once bought a bike with these wheels, the rear was 18 kg complete.

Later they went to forged alu, that is much lighter. I have those in 17*5.5 in my daytona.
The front is 1.5 kg lighter that the same size daytona stock wheel. ANd that is incredible to notice. Since then it's so much easier to turn at speed. Worth more than any other tuning

Neo-Klassik, and PVM can make it in any width.

Best,
