makes me wonder a little about the design of wheel hubs/centres like what material is it exactly and what sort of calculations are made to determine the minimum dimensions of metal you need for a V8 motorcycle....you cant just punch out any old design can you?

edukate us!
I'd be more worried about the tyres! Many owners fit tyres with an inadequate load rating

Well anyway I'm sure there's some engineering behind it all. One things for sure, after seeing some of the designs these guys put out Kimi's wheel looks to have plenty of meat. http://www.dragway.com.au/s_15.asp

Jack,show me what you bought!
Kimi . I don't know how to post pictures , my wife does it for me but if you go on ebay and look for Harley 11.5 dia Stainless steel rotors I'm sure you will see the one's I'm referring to . I think they were only about $110.00 a set and so far they work great on my bike . However they are not floating rotors . If you can't find them I will have my wife post a picture of mine .
Thanks Jack and Tom! Those rotors really seem to suit well w the new wheels. Those that Steve has look maybe too much "high tech" for my old fashion taste.
Nice rotors both, the one's Steve made, and the Harley ones. I'm going to need a rear rotor for my '06 BB, by spring time. And have any of you seen what the rear pulley looks like without that chrome disc cover? I'd like to get one or modifiy my existing rear rotor to look like something other than a chrome dinner plate.
Ric , somewhere in these Logo photos there is a picture of my stock pulley without the the plates that I had CNC machined and added a little bling to . Maybe Mike can post a picture of it .
I just scanned thru the logo photos for about 10 min. and can't find it . If you would like I can have Cheryl post a picture of it .
