  5. my avatar picture is my old 999r with a marvic Penta Mag front wheel and standard forged rear, it helped speed up the steering in my view.

  6. When you feel the difference made to the front end you'll be buying a rear to match....:upyeah:

  7. You notice a lightweight front immediately. Well, I did on my 916 from the 3 spoke oems to mag 5 spokes.

  8. With the current state of the roads there's no way that I'd invest in a carbon front wheel and some folks say that I've got carbonitus.
    So its a no from me, sorry!
