Jason, saw a front wheel on ebay (not the fancy one from AC Shitzenhousen). Think it was in germany. Will check

Hi
I need a front wheel myself.Mine got a little bent in my accident.
I really would love a set of 20 spoke black PVM,s.They really float my boat!

However at about £1200 a set,i,ll have to wait.
Thinking out loud here,maybe a wheel from another motorcycle could be made to fit with different spacers etc etc.Will have a measure and see.
Would be able to get wavey discs then at reasonable money.

i was in the same spot with front rotors: warped the first set at about 5,500 miles, got a second set under warranty, and then when i warped those, i was told "very impressive, but we're not giving you a third set."

i got the wavey braking rotors.
after 20,000 miles, they haven't warped yet.
they stop better too!

You've convinced me!

Who do you recommend for supplying these? Do they have special pads also?

Cheers!

this one's been beaten to death over on my side of the pond.
the thread at pelican should bring you up to date:

personally i use the high performance up front (not racing compound) and the medium street pad in the rear. makes for good front braking, and some actual rear braking, as opposed to that light switch that bmw gives you.
