Nope, from Ohio - I'm just a former customer. I probably have hundreds of emails and they never mentioned closing. I still don't know what happened.

This was another rear wheel I had done a while before the MKII. They used to leave the weld inside too but started machining it down at some point. The wheel on the left is a stock 2.15" and the one on the right was widened to 3.5"

Do these wheels weight as much/ more than standard?. I was amazed what the difference was between the GPZ900R rear and my previous Z1-R, with the swingarm the difference is about 6Kg (13 lb I think).
They look fantastic regardless.
First Permanent ride the Z1R since Dec1977 (220,000km) as of June 2015
Second permanent bike 1989 FJ1200 dyno'd 140RWH, great bike.
Third ride is now the Frankenstein 1981 GPZ1100B1, getting new/ refurbished 83-84 motor soon
Forth my work bike FJ1200 1989 (same type as above)

Well, the older wheels are heavier than most new wheels to begin with and I'm sure the widened wheels are even heavier with the added material. I would suggest updating to newer wheels if you're comfortable with all the fab work - spacers, brake rotors / calipers, speedo drive etc... I liked the stock look and I'm not worried about a few pounds here and there so I just went the widening route. I'd like to do a modern suspension / wheel project one of these days.
