S1000XR FORGED WHEEL CONVERSION *TITAX CAUTION* Volume Up

Turn the volume up
After months of waiting to receive my new wheels I put together a conversion video of required components to make the change. Sorry audio did not work well and due long period and lost data.
I reused rear rotors so these items are not included.
If you are interested in Titax wheels please read other peoples opinions and compare with my experience for the time required and frustration. I was unfortunately the first build for an XR and the communication required and length of time to receive wheels then the updated spacers for the rotors was extremely long. 6 month process. Overall the quality is good and weight savings are definitely a big change. I requested and paid for a rear sprocket and was told air valves where included. Both never arrived with wheels or the updated spacers months later. If upfront communication was more truthful then the experience would have been better regardless of the time required. I had to make special orders from Europe that could have been included with other items I ordered to avoid extra shipping costs. Titax did however pull through and get wheels completed and shipping prices are excellent as well as help with import.
Look forward to see my experience with new wheels.

Love the simplicity of that tire changer, very effective. Would love to get a lighter front wheel myself. BMW has a forged front wheel that includes all hardware to include floating rotors for around $2000. A bit too much at the moment, but would like to upgrade in the future.

The rear is also a big gain, the OEM style hub is very heavy. They are definitely a big investment. Originally I saved my cast wheel for road to avoid tire changing. Now I swap tires on forged as I used to the forged wheels. Tire changer is now community tool at the track, all the buddies are using it. Lol.

Proper well done job there brother. And we know the wheels work and feel amazing 🤜🏼🤛🏼

what are the weights exactly compared to the stock wheels? Only reference I can see in the video is saying front original 7.1kg, titax 7.0kg, only 100g saving?

The front wheel changed rotor. Original was semi floating. Which is a lighter rotor. The wheels where fitted with full floaters. So weight of rotors where alot different. If I removed rotors on both wheels and remeasure weight. Titax would be considerably lighter. Rear weight dropped 4kg. Unfortunately I have both tires mounted. I can try to measure next time I have both wheels unmounted
