I'll take the jump if they can provide the wheels......

 

brilliant! Waiting for further infos!

That cush looks better (cushier) than the Marvic. The Marvic has next to no give. The question is if they make a MG sized spline drive to plug in.

And I read they are not producing any yet, so wait and see.

Finally got around to taking a couple of shots on the Marvics on the bike

The steering is noticeably lighter. I'm sure some of that can be attributed to the switching to the taller, narrower 170/60 rear tire.

I'm definitely interested in the Durrani wheels. I also sent an email.

 

UPDATE:

 

Sheryar Durrani, the founder and Chief Engineer of DES, called me back. See: http://www.durraniracing.com/510.html . That is a great way to get your attention.

 

He had a lot of great input & genuine interest. If any forum member is in the Detroit, MI area, Durrani would be interested in taking measurements of the V11 rear wheel. Farmington Hills, MI is where Durrani is located and is less than 30 miles northwest of Detroit (according to Google Maps)

 

The cost for getting a new light weight wheel for shaft drive may not be as much as you think. A group purchase from even as little as 4-5 forum members would make it affordable, especially considering the other brands.

 

It sounds like the price would come under the competition even when they have to add some initial costs to add the shaft drive model to their lineup.

 

I sent Sheryar a link to this forum topic.

well maybe it's some help, this is what I send to PVM to get my wheel made, only you need to measure the left side, since mine was made different there. Between gear and the wheel center the cush should be made.

Paul - thank you.

 

Anyone know of V11 riders in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, etc.?

I didn't get a call, but I'm still in if they build the adapters for the V-11.

Turns out that there is a "longish" thread on Durrani wheels on the WERA board; possibly outstripping even the Hooters effort here? Some historical perspective for interested paties.

Very interested to see if this pans out, always wanted to upgrade to OZ wheels but missed that boat. I remember a picture of a Cafe Sport with OZ rims on this site... yummm!

 

"Longish"?? 200+ Pages

 

I couldn't get anything out of that thread other than people think (or thought) these wheels are vapor ware, I just don't have the time or patience to sift through it all. That thread needs a BS filter

[Paul Minnaert]

well I looked at the last pages and it seems that noone got wheels, but they did pay. And no refund. :-(
