Carrozzeria Wheels for the CBR1100XX Blackbird!
Fireblades, R1s and others welcomed!
 Carrozzeria Forged Aluminum Wheels - Gold-anodized, Black-anodized and Polished Aluminum (clear-anodized)
Carrozzeria Forged Aluminum V6 Wheels
Carrozzeria utilizes a process that allows them to create a product that is stronger, more durable, and longer lasting than other similar products available on the market. As seen above, the V6TM wheels come in three different colors: Gold-anodized, Black-anodized and Polished Aluminum (clear-anodized)
Forging is a process that uses thousands of tons of water pressure to compress the material into occupying a smaller physical area. The end result is that the product is typically much stronger, denser yet lighter, while retaining the same or greater amount of strength of a billet or casted product. Forged materials are typically used in machinery that is subject to tremendous amounts of stress, such as forged pistons for race cars and dragsters.

Options you'll want to consider:
The wheels come with bearings and cush drives installed. You will need to obtain a new sprocket, as the stock XX sprocket will not fit the new cush drive. The rear sprocket is a 530 ZX-12 bolt pattern, so sprockets are readily available wherever you can buy Kawasaki sprockets (which is pretty much everywhere). As an option to this deal, you can order your wheels with a rear steel sprocket (bolted up by Carrozzeria prior to shipping) for only an additional $65.
This is a good option for someone who just wants to mount tires and bolt it up using their existing front sprocket.
Speaking of tires... you'll obviously want fresh rubber for your new Carrozzeria wheels. Our vendor is offering two tire options you may want to consider:
- Michelin Pilot Powers: $280.00 for the pair, price includes shipping!
- Michelin Pilot Roads: $242.00 for the pair, price includes shipping!
Chains/Sprockets... Ideally, you want to have a fresh chain and front sprocket to match your new rear sprocket. Towards that end, our vendor is also offering a package deal on a complete set. Going with this offer, you will want to forego the $65 option of having Carrozzeria bolt up a rear sprocket that was previously mentioned.
NOTE: Both the stock 530 pitch and option 520 conversion is offered under this deal!
For this package deal offering:
- Chain: EK ZZVX 120 link gold or silver chain (rated to 10,560 lbs) one of
the strongest chains on the market today. Retails for $189
- Front sprocket: AFAM, Sunstar or JT Steel sprockets (depending on what the distributor has on hand at the time of order). Choice of 16 or 17 tooth for Honda Blackbird retails for $40
- Rear sprocket: Again, either the AFAM, Sunstar or JT Steel sprockets. Choice of 45, 46, 47 or 48 tooth
for ZX-12. Retails for $64
The above package set normally retails for $292.00; for this GB, it's only $230.00 including shipping! This same package can be had with Vortex aluminum sprockets for $179 shipped!!
To take advantage of any of the tire/chain/sprocket options, just annotate the option(s) you want on the Group Buy sign-up form!
 ENSURE to use the "Notes" section of the order form to provide your tire sizes if ordering tires, and to indicate aluminum or steel sprockets if ordering the chain/sprocket option! |
