The wheel (mono) carries a little unnecessary weight. You can lighten
the disk without compromising reliability and the cast marks can be
turned off the rims (see attached). Polishing is optional. I can't
really claim that the black "crackle" finish saves weight, but is does
look better than the corroded "white furred" alloy that is frequently
seen Wink

on the subject of weight savings, I can't help but notice how heavy
the mono swingarm is. I noticed in Germany one builder had put many
lightening holes in it (among many other mods). I had also wondered
if indeed it was over-designed and could use some strategically placed
holes. Is that the only builder who has lightened it? Has anyone
done any math on that heavy piece?

Cheers & thx,
