Talking zb parts teaser pic (Motoshop Z does it again)

Ok, I have to do it. I was going to hold off but can't. These are my newest beauties (keep in mind I haven't even seen them) but they should arrive to me before long. They will be nestling up at home on my zb (Monkey-R) project. I've got to thank the Motoshop Z crew (Brad and Dan) for getting me hooked up on not only these but some other mighty fine parts that won't be getting sneak peaks. These pictures show just enough to be a great teaser though so I figured I'd post them. Again, Thanks to Welcome to Honda50.com Welcome to Honda50.com for the kick azz parts and Dan especially for putting up with me and supplying me with some teaser pictures.

Yes Kurlon, they are magnesium.

Well now, makes sense you would no longer have a use for those fine 6 spokes I got off of you...

Very nice and congrats

In the future, I'm going to whore out the pictures online before I send them to you...

These wheels are feather light and are mighty fine made. It was well worth the wait since Marvic is slow as molasses.

Just pulling your chain brother. I don't post up nor really speak publically about people's parts or builds except sharing with my counterpart living who lives on the left coast.

My kids have been rolling the wheels around in the basement trying to knock over bowling pins and have commented on how light and fast the wheels roll... My oldest did state they don't make very good frisbees but when they hit the cement, they make cool sparks..
