The bikes are back from MotionSBK. Most of the work on the R was setup related, but here are a couple pics showing new parts:

Refresh and Ready for Track Attack
I love the writing on the tire where it stated: "NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE"

Do you notice anything else interesting about the tires?
Hi Craig,Ha, yep
Do you notice anything else interesting about the tires?
no, unfortunately, I am not familiar with the current tire offerings.
I admit, I am clueless about the current line of tires, except, I noticed yours are full slick, but I am sure there is more than that

Notice the tire size is 190/65 r420?
Hi Craig, yes I did noticed that, but honestly I am not familiar with the term... (embarrassing I know
and I am too lazy to do research now, so tired from all that grinding and drilling this past 2 days), is the R420 have special meaning?like an R "compound" or compound used in WSBK?
Thanks

You’re not lazy at all Howard - the awesome work you’ve done to your bike is testament to that.
Very insightful! Indeed, the R does reference wsbk - these are 16.5” mags and tires directly from wsbk.

, is that mean that even the wheel are SPECIAL Diameter? 16.5" magnesium wheel?That must be very expensive wheel, and very light too !!!
I can't wait to hear your review about this tire and wheel combo when you took it to the track
Also, may I know how much the wheel and tire cost (if you don't mind)? Thanks

Yes - 16.5” marchesini mags. They likely were expensive at one time (not sure about now since wsbk moved to 17” wheels), but I didn’t buy them - they’re on loan for track testing.WOW Craig

Agreed - the Brembo billet mc’s are really nice. It’s 16x18 (part # xr01151).Awesome wheel and tire setup. That billet clutch master has me drooling. Which ratio did you go with?

Hi Craig,
I need your kind help. Your Ohlins FGR300 (or maybe FGR301) require 108mm bolt spacing Brembo calipers. And almost all Brembo caliper with 108mm bolt spacing have 22.5mm offset (except GP4-PR with 21mm offset).
This mean you either need a spacer between your rotor/disk brake and your wheel or you have a special rotor with a different offset than stock offset rotor.
May I know the thickness of the spacer (between your rotor/disk brake and the mounting surface on your front wheel)? If your setup don't use spacer, may I know the part# of your front disk rotor?
Thank you so much Craig
