750 rear axle conversion weight difference

[Drunkn Munky]

Has anyone actually weight both a stock NC30 setup and the 750 conversion to see the weight difference?

[james66]

Ive got a 750 wheel at the mo to powdercoat, ill weigh it for you + update the weight list
Ive seen the 750 mounted with a centre nut like stock, ill ask ben for some pics as he got load of bits from the same bloke

For one of your bikes tony?

[james66]

Found them, ill send them to you

Cheers pal yes my system came from one of his bikes, I think the wheel needs work to fit to a nc axle. Considring one for my road nc30 and just Interested in the total weight difference

James,

Are they the wheels from Craig Mcellands (think that waa his name) bike?

Tony i have a full VFR750 rear hub and wheel and a RVF wheel with VFR&RVF Hub, but the only scales i have are some cheap shit £3 asda ones!

this bike i think?

[Drunkn Munky]

Yeah thats him and the bike, or bikes. He had 2 I belive.

Just looking the weight difference really mate so those scales should be ok.

[james66]

On my cheap shoddy scales the wheels looks to be around 5.5kgs

its easily modified however not by yourself in the shed,
The centre hole needs machining out for the axle tube + spacer
also the drive pins aren't quite far enough apart to locate into the 750 stud holes, will need to drill into the wheel just beside the styd holes for the drive pins

not exactly hard at all
On the plus side the cutouts are there for the disc nuts unlike the bros wheel

quite surprised at the weight, I thought it was heavier than it is especially the fact thats its 5" wide

[Drunkn Munky]

So anyone know the weight of a stock 17" and 18" wheel?

[james66]

Think the stock 17 is 5.3kg
