NEW Spoked Wheels for V-Strom 650 and 1000
« on: December 22, 2017, 18:21:03 »
I don't like the OEM spoke wheels, hard to clean and just not good enough. So I wend looking for 'better' one. And I found them. Haan Wheels developed, specially for the V-Strom a set of great Spoked rims. Available in different colour settings for rim, hub, nipples and spokes.

See for yourself.

Do they have or allow the use of ABS sensor rings?
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

I'm not interested myself. I've seen people ask before so I can refer them if I see a request again.

What do you mean by not good enough?

Have you had problems with the standard ones?

Only ask as the new bike as a whole looks good.

I don't like spoked wheels on road bikes - I find them stupid and pointless, but given that some people may like them why would anyone spend £1300 on replacements for standard spoked wheels? You find standard spoked wheels hard to clean and not good enough. Are your recommended replacements easier to clean? In what way are they more good than standard spoked items?
