Spent 3 hours on Sunday watching my front FLAM wheel get straightened. It didn't look too bad to the naked eye when spun up on the spindle, unlike the rear wheel which was all over the shop. Still, it took 3 hours to get it right with every little shunt in one direction taking it out of true in another, sometimes by more than the original warp. Soft as bloody plastecine. Didn't want to breath on the thing afterwards in case I stuffed it again. The rear wheel has just been completed today. Now to get them bead blasted and tyres fitted -  :o
 
There's an article on the installation of GSXR rims written by Doug Home on JLOs laverdamania site.  He broke several FLAMs before I put him onto the Suzuki rims...

Already looked for some Suzi rims - hens teeth over here. But looking at the rigamerole getting them to fit and work with the existing parts -  :o

I think I will stick with the FLAMS.
