The collection is growing...

[Mindless]

Not the bikes necessarily, but my collection of Astralite wheels.



Won the black front wheel on eBay last week for $200ish. Shame shipping was almost $100 for it. Arrived today and I'm really pleased with it. Straight as an arrow and no major scuffs.

They're all 17" wheels too.







Just wanted to brag a bit. The black pair are going on me and my old mans Kawazaki (K)Z1000 Mk.II which we'll start working on this winter. Still looking for a friend for the gold front wheel.



Found this complete engine freshly bored to 1166cc for $250 a couple of wheeks back so the idea is to build a real classic racing bike based around a Katana. With a set of Astralite wheels of course.

Mindless, in the future can you please put a "porno warning" in the title when showing pics of your Astralite wheels. They are beauties!

A guy in Vintage Racing near me has a Kat with black Astralites.

That bike is kind of what I have in mind for a future project. A proper race-only bike.

I'm more interested in the 17" wheels. Gives more options for modern rubber. If I'm building a proper racer I want to be able to run at least a 180 width slick rear. Makes a world of difference if you want to ride fast.

Plus those wheels look painted. I only think they were available in gold and black from Astralite back in the day.
