Top 5 Mods for motorcycles

[OneSickPsycho]

From what I've read it's a VERY noticeable and dramatic difference... I'd like someone who's actually rocked some CF's to chime in...

I dunno, but I'd definitely bury her in my back yard...

I still think suspension should be above it...

but yeah... I looked into them a while back when I had an extra $2200 laying around... but 1. they don't make them for my bike... and 2. not worth it when I can't ride the bike more than 30% of it's ability

Possibly, but the fact that the lighter wheels allow your suspension to work better... you may get more than one bird with a single stone if you switch wheels...

Not having all that weight rotating also greatly reduces gyroscopic forces improving turn-in and general manuverability... Unsprung weight allows the suspension to work better...

Holy shit. A motorcycle related post from the sick one.

I've head similar about light wheels. Since so much of the mass that is lost is near the circumference of the wheel, the effect of that drop is a huge drop in angular momentum since the relationship scales with radius... End effect: it's easier to get the wheel rolling and easier to stop it. Makes sense.


There was a dude with CF wheels on his duc last time I was at the track.... fucking siiiiiiiiick.
