I think, the first time you give the GSX free rein  :devil: :devil: and snap open the throttle, there will be snapped spokes equally as quickly. IMHO  :stir:

The level of torque even a standard GSX pumps out is MASSIVE  :whatever:

seth

Harley's have mega torque especially the bigger motors and some if them have spoked wheels without them snapping .
They wouldn't be for me as to much cleaning .
I look forward to seeing this project when it's finished .

Ah yes, but:
If we were riding together and I snapped three spokes, I'd still make it home.


If you snapped the same amount of spokes in your back wheel, you'd make it to hospital, before home  :coffeescreen:

https://www.bikeexif.com/custom-honda-cbx-1000 not sure how much Torque these old 6 cylinder bikes pumped out. I'll guess these spoke wheels are expensive, just like the frame and front end.  :onya: :onya:

Nice motor. The rest WTF. Bloke up the road has CBX built into a coffee table. Sits in his lounge room. Bike all original, 87ks only. Not 87 th. just 87. Sure froths up coffee if he starts it.

Things on the wire wheel conversion took, what I thought was, a turn for the worse. Looking at my spare swing arm fitted with the hub in situ. The hub looks off centre, but I have measured it so many times I'm sick of it. I even resigned myself to the fact that the swinger was offset to the pivot, but have now discounted that. I think it's purely an optical illusion, having the chucky cush drive side makes it look lopsided.

Still doubting, even after the last post :doh: I thought I'd try another way, with a straight edge.
I'm convinced it's OK, and I'll sleep well after a few red wines tonight!

Not sure if this adds anything to the topic but just spotted this post on the global GSX1400 group on facebook and thought of this thread.
