I remember when they were the ONLY non spoke wheels available for these bikes. They were THE wheels to buy. I believe that there were a few factory custom bikes that came with those. They were a MUST if you installed a turbo.

You mean they predate the Morris and Lester mags? I think the Morris mags were released in 74, or maybe 75. I don't know when the Lesters appeared.

So both of our counties are in recession?
Can someone explain that word to me because I've obviously misunderstood it for 50 years.
I think maybe we're being sold down the river guys.

Why would anyone buy a set of Morris when the Enki (Kawasaki OE) rims are virtually identical. I however have a set of Lester wheels that i never cared for and will be getting rid of. The PO put them on a 77 KZ1000A1 and I don't care for the way they look anyway. They look too much like H0nd@ wheels for my taste.

Whose bubble you busting? Everyone agreed the asking price was pretty silly, except you apparently.


Otakar, maybe some want them since they were a dealer installed option on some models, for which Enkei wheels were not available, and I'm pretty sure they were available before the Enkei mags were, and the Enkei were a copy of the Morris mags.
