... What he said. Lots of people say they've heard of BBS rims bent in normal riding but it really smells of urban legend to me. They are soft and will bend...

... Correct. I bought a Last Edition Duke as it was much cheaper than a Duke II but has the 640 engine and is nicely sorted. I then stuck a top box on it... ...
From my experience the Duke II wheels bend very easily. It was enough of an issue that the wheel was updated/upgraded in 2003, sadly it costs a lot more then...
I think if I can, I'm going to try finding a used set of Duke wheels...I do like the look, and I have very smooth back county roads to deal with most of the...

I was hoping to stay in the 300 to 400 mark. Idealy for my low budget....they wouldn't need to be perfect. I really would be interested though. Let me know...
I have a spare set (which I bought so I could keep a set of fresh races tires mounted and ready). However I'm not selling them till I sell the bike (which I...

Thanks, all, for your input on license plate holder alternatives. For now, I've had the original re-welded by a friend, but I also have a new one on order....
I have the same mount as Team Incomplete on my SMC and Duke (past) as well as many other street bikes I have owned. It has never given me a problem, you can...
