Have it delivered to a friends house. Pick it up when the wife is away for a few hours. Bring it home and pretend it has always been there. I have done that with a few motorcycles. A welder should be a piece of cake.

Put the TT1 aside for now as a friend has to come by and see if he wants to do a trade. Since the alloy bike was on a stand I just rolled her out. She was dusty but after two years, still had some personality. A lot of time and work was put into the wheels, but I was troubled by two things. They were heavy and 16 inch. I wanted some light 17 inch aluminum wheels and I finally think I found what I was looking for. I know it won't be easy but nothing ever is. I have been looking at these wheels on Facebook market place for a while but didn't want to pull the trigger as the bolt pattern was Yamaha and my fancy Zanzanni rotors are Ducati style. I know that the PM wheels are supposed to be adaptable, but never had any experience with them. I did recall my buddy Chris Jensen had a spare set of chicane wheels for the rain slicks on his F1. They were Ducati pattern. Okay, woke up early yesterday, drove to New Jersey, bought the wheels then drove to Chris's also in New Jersey, then the three hour drive home! Traffic is no joke on Sunday. Eighty miles 3 hours, do the math. Couldn't sleep well last night thinking about the wheels. Now I'm happy. A lot of heat gun to soften the red lock tight and I was able to get all the hubs apart. I'll order new bearings and hardware and have the wheels polished before I put them back together. The rear will also be a challenge. I went with a polished over racing swingarm as the wheel is wider. Wish me luck. Lou

Oh...yeah, those are gonna look nice. I have seen 3 spoke and 4 spoke pm's, I don't recall seeing the 6 spoke wheel before.

Man, and after all that work on those Oscams! A glutton for punishment you are. And you will use that jazzy swingarm too? MikeV

Yes Clay, I never saw these before either. I was looking for Chicanes and actually had bought a pair I found on eBay . One wheel came damaged and the other one never showed! Luckily the guy was a real gentleman and refunded my money. I saw these and fell in love but it took me a long time to convince myself to buy them. Yes Mike, maybe I am a little nuts, and yes that Over swingarm will hopefully be the one I use. Beautifully made piece. One day this thing will get done. It's suppose to be a hobby. Too bad I have to work at a real job! Lou

My initial excitement for the new wheels has now been tempered by the reality of starting over. New tires, bolts, bearings, polishing, fitting/machining spacers, the list goes on. The rotor mounted on the hub, no bolts, no bearings. Just to encourage me to finish. Lou

Cleaned up the hubs. Before and after. Starting to look better. Lou

Hi Lou.... As unique and now pristine as the Oscams are, I think the new wheels are an aesthethic step in the right direction.

Thanks for the comment Flattop! It's encouraging to get feedback. I agree, I am happy with the change in direction. Here is half the wheel polished with new hub and rotor hardware. Lou

Now that looks very impressive.
