RE: JB-Power Magtan JB4 Magnesium wheels - lola_imp - 03-18-2015
1. The Tire and wheel for the front is the same size as our stock wheel and tire but the rear Magtan uses a 4.5 wheel and requires a 160-60-18 tire. So yes went wider on the Rear.
2. there are two styles to choose from that fits our bike, JB1 which is old school 5 spoke design and the jb4 which is a swept 7 spoke design. I went with the jb4 just because it reminds me of todays motogp wheels which i think are marchseini Genesi mr7s...
3. My Rear sets are stock, did you mean swing arm? Well luckily a forum member was parting out his CB and had a over racing type 7 for sale so i bought it. The type 7 is adequate for our bike in my opinion.
4. yeah about that amount of weight savings. Still have not weighed mine yet.
I have a little over 100 miles with the wheels and tires riding to work and back and did notice the front end under braking feels a little sensitive. I do know it needs some suspension tuning becuase last time I had the bike tuned to my weight I was 210 and Im 175lbs now...
its never a waste of money if it keeps you happy and healthy..
The centerstand needs to come off! the right side leg touches the tire.

Lola,
Wouldn't a grinder take care of that?
RE: JB-Power Magtan JB4 Magnesium wheels - lola_imp - 03-19-2015

So, you went all out to reduce weight, but kept the center stand? I included center stand in my estimate of 30lb weight reduction...did you? Oh, and yes, I meant swing arm.

I have not put the center stand back on the bike but did the modification to the center stand if I feel like putting it back. Sorry for the confussion
