would look even better if you mounted them the right way round Yes I know the wheel is in backwards, I was seeing if it was symmetrical before measuring up for spacers and disc spacing, and it is so its back the other way now

Nice parts build ! It came out looking like an expensive model bandit with that aloy frame and bandit light and clocks so you decided to sell it with the engine anyway? Did you make a profit on it?

Btw - when you had the engine on it's side for mounting the frame, was the oil still in it ? Im thinking about how I should Mount my b6 frame when the time comes..

I have to say Garry, the more pics i see of it with those wheels, the more i'm coming round to like them. But, i still say the white 3 spokes rule

Cut the spokes off the 3 spokes, drill the holes for the stainless spokes, rebuild, hey presto the best of both worlds ( wheres my copy of photoshop, lol) Cheers SRR

right descission made, front checked for trueness, rear rim being fitted as S/S one as chrome ones are unobtainable and the ally ones are £100 cheaper but don't match the front at all its going to take until end of march?? So id better get on with the rest of it..
