Dymag were in the middle of a move to a larger location and informed me there would be a considerable wait if I didn't act quickly - so I did. Still, it took a few weeks for them to make afterwhich they were shipped to my home stateside.

As is well discussed by MANY over the years, the dynamic transformation goes beyond what the specification numbers promise in an most profound way. Far more-so than the difference between my RSV vs RSV-R's (cast/forged) comparison.

Needless to say - sell?... not anytime soon. I'd keep them as wall art if I couldn't ride 'em ....

If anyone can swing the buy-in. Do it, you wont regret it.


J.S.
Explains the Boxertrix sticker as well... been a fan of aftermarket wheels for many years the transformation you get particularly from the front is a wonder, of the 6 bikes I currently run, 4 have Dymags and another carbon BST’s because at the time Dymag and gone bust many years ago.

Looking at your photos...always the first thing I look at is the angle of the rear bevel, so even with a long Ohlins on the front or not, I know it steers way quicker that stock even before the lightweight front wheel
