RSD Wheels

[SCarty]

Just got mine! Got them for $844 from Indian

Weigh the stock wheels and your new ones and let us know.

 

[Max Kool]

The RSD wheels weigh the same as the stock ones.

So what

 

[SURGEFTR]

So what

It's a common question. People want to know if there is any weight savings by going to the RSD wheels. Especially when they were full price

 

[Charliemurphay]

So what

I believe @Max Kool was responding to @Blue1 asking you to weigh them both and see the difference.

 

[Max Kool]

I did yes.

 

[SCarty]

The surgery begins!

 

[SCarty]

Got em on

I'm really digging those wheels, nice call! You couldn't pay me to put those OEM Dunlop tires back on though.

 

[SCarty]

These tires are fine, I'm not scraping my knees plus I like to hit some gravel and dirt roads so they work fine for me

@ferraiolo1 You have these wheels right? But with street tires, notice any better performance in turns (or anywhere) compared to the stock 17's?

 

[Max Kool]

He has them on his 18/19” bike. 😉

They steer, turn exactly the same as the stock wheels (but look the bomb imho).

I agree they look bomb!! Def buying if they are just as good basically. Plus an extra $100 off too. Now just need to figure out what tire to order, seems like the T32 from Bridgestone is fine.

Bridgestone runs a 50 dollar rebate on a set of them atm.

I'm not sure how many people have reverse engineered and put 18/19" wheels on a 2022 FTR, you might just want to have a look at how that will all work before you order them.

if you're just looking at tyres for your 17 inch wheels - yes the T32's are great.

I love the look of the 18/19 and the tire options are limited but the T32's are available for the RSD wheels. I'm mainly worried about the street and turning performance, since the rim size is better suited for keeping the front wheel upright while allowing the rear to slide. But this makes think that I would possibly be able to do supermoto styled drift slides on the FTR with the right tires. If anyone has any input on whether or not this is possible?

 

[ferraiolo1]

I’ll put it this way. I don’t think there is a large enough difference between my 22 and 19 to bother putting 17s on my 19. Yes the t32s work well. I used to run them on my sport bikes.

you know the RSD wheels are 18/19?
Just trying to clarify as I thought you had a 2022 FTR.

Yes, they have a nicer look but I was actually thinking I might get some forged wheels instead for rotational mass decrease
