sharperdill Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I am playing with the thought of going to wire spoke rims. Is there an after market company that makes wire spoked rims/hubs for the v11 sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlaing Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Alpina.http://www.rossopuroitalia.it/news_detail.asp?News_ID=28 That link takes you to an Italian language site with no way out. If you go to the main site, http://www.rossopuroitalia.it clicking on the British flag might work better for we language challenged speakers of American. The good news is that the folks at Rossopuro have at least one English speaking sales representative. Here is the blurb in English from their site: "08/10/2007-ALPINA SPOKED WHEELS FOR V11 FINALLY AVAILABLE! From the collaboration between Rossopuro and Alpina, the first spoked wheels kit for tubeless pneus is now available, dedicated to all models of Moto Guzzi V11. The rims are made of aluminium, CNC machined aluminium hubs, inox spokes. Main feature of this kit is the new Alpina´s patented A-System for tubeless wheels. With this new system is now possible to install tubeless tires on spoked wheels, so that speeds higher than 180 km/h are allowed also on spoked wheels. In the cross and supermotard fields Alpina wheels already reached the highest performances with max safety! The kit can be bought either in the Rossopuro´s colors shown in the picture or in your own color combination between black, gray, red and gold, both for the rim and hub. High resistance anodized finish with great looking style. The wheels could easily be installed from a specialized garage or tire changer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharperdill Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 $2500........ Oh my. Thats a bit rich, but tempting. I may just have to powdercoat my current rims and use the leftovers from the $2500 for other modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharperdill Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Yeah, I think I better start saving my pennies. They don't just look good, they look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Would the spoked wheels be lighter than OEM? Like the idea and it should be easier to fit a 4.5rim, might look a bit odd on an 1100sport though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom M Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Would the spoked wheels be lighter than OEM? No, according to Alpina. See post #59 here: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?...lpina&st=45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
