toknee Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Anybody have any experience with these spoked rims? http://www.rossopuroitalia.it/index.asp?Pr...rd_PrdType_ID=5 I think they would look great on a V11 sport!
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 too bad they'll cost you almost as much as a used bone stock V11 sport will run you, the whole bike <_>
gstallons Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 About the same as breast implants, with equal results!!!!!!!! The only difference is these wheels will leave you when you decide.
Diesel Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Yeah, I've got a set. I like them. I don't think they lighter or anything......but they make the bike IMO. 2
gstallons Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Yes, they dooooo look that good. Were they that much? How or what did you do to strip down the license plate bracket? What other goodies are on there? Just by looking you are single and or a www.millionaire!!!!!!!
Guzzirider Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 With the strength of the Euro anything bought from Italy is now very expensive- and it makes these lovely wheels even more out of reach!
Diesel Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Yes, they dooooo look that good. Were they that much? How or what did you do to strip down the license plate bracket? What other goodies are on there? I paid 1900 Euro back when the dollar was a little stronger. The license plate bracket is a fender eliminator from Rossopuro.....it is the latest version of their double cat-eye fender eliminator Just by looking you are single and or a www.millionaire!!!!!!! Single, no divorces, no kids, good job, paid the house off a few years ago.
toknee Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 Diesel, Very nice! I think I will have to get me a set of those in red! How was ordering from Rossopuro, customs, delivery time? Thanks Yeah, I've got a set. I like them. I don't think they lighter or anything......but they make the bike IMO.

You should have no worries ordering from Rossopuro. They are very easy to deal with, and Paolo speaks excellent english. If there are any troubles, I'm certain Paolo will get them resolved. They were shipped Fed-Ex...... and they dropped the ball and initially had them shipped to Ca instead of Ky where I live. But I got ahold of FedEx and got them turned around. Shortly after leaving Europe, you can expect a call form customs or the like requiring you to fill out some sort of form. It is required, and I was able to finish the whole process via email after the initial call.

jhh Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Oh god 2,966.18$ for those, and they really do make the bike. Are there any affordable rims similar to those out there?
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Oh god 2,966.18$ for those, and they really do make the bike. Are there any affordable rims similar to those out there? short answer NO, long answer yes with a but, you can get old guzzi rims from I forget which model but I hear they'll mount up, only problem was I believe they were tube'd rims. Part of the reason spoke tubless are so expenseve is the tubeless part, NOW there is a mod for those old guzzi rims if you dig it up to use a peice of a tire tube, cut it, and then glue it to the rim all the way around the spokes but that is tough. I imagine it would still cost quite a bit for the older spoked tube rims then the joy of modding them and then having to really trust your work you'd be better off buying the Alpina rims for $3k. I WISH I could afford them they really do set the bike off.
profWacko Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 >>you can get old guzzi rims from I forget which model but I hear they'll mount up Since Todd has a 4.5" rear from a V11 Sport on his 1100SS (ex-2002 Stone), I'm guessing that the reverse would work as well. I hear that the better hub to use is from an EV because they are lighter than the Stone/Jackal ones. Just about any good wheel slinger should be able to lace up a rim of whatever width you would want on there. Diesel, that bike looks just amazing. -Jack
