Are the non ABS BST carbon wheels still available for the 961 bikes? Both front and rear.
 
well, despite the estimated delivery date being next week, they are actually here today!

Interesting that the front is marked Dominator and the rear Commando

I'll get better pictures tomorrow, as the light in my office is very poor. I went for the Satin finish, as I wanted a contrast the other carbon on the bike, but would probably match the satin naked finish well.

and the rear came with a very nice sprocket carrier:

but the bolts are a bit low rent, being plated steel items, so ordering nicer ones.

More pictures tomorrow!

OK, looking through my emails, the first communication I had with them was the 3rd of September and I received them on the 11th of December.

I've ordered better sprocket bolts, which are in the UK, so should not be long. Tyres will be mounted on Friday.

That’s not bad. I’ve ordered carbon fiber piece for my Ducati Diavel 1260 from ilemberger in March of this year and still waiting. All I hear from them is soon. They say that every month I ask them.

Can you weigh the wheels for comparison.

I can't give you the weights of the wire wheels alone, as the current tyres are staying where they are, BUT will weigh the wires with tyres vs carbons with tyres.

Here are the weights of the carbons:

Rear grams, 3900

Rear Ibs and oz 8lb, 9.5oz
Carbon Fiber Wheel Update


Front grams, 2410g
Carbon Fiber Wheel Update


Front Ib's and oz, 5lb 5oz
Carbon Fiber Wheel Update


Sprocket carrier
585g
Carbon Fiber Wheel Update


1 ib 4.7oz
Carbon Fiber Wheel Update


I'll update this with 'with tyre' weights on Friday

Interestingly, my seem to be heavier than kens.
"New wheels are 4.62 lbs. front and 5.94 lbs. rear"

My front weights almost as much as his rear!
For direct comparison, my front is 5.3lbs, my rear is 8.6lb
