was having a troll about the interwebs trying to find info/pics on forged wheels for the R1 and stumbled across your forum. Not new to bikes or R1's, started riding road bikes in 92, had a break from 98 till 01 due to injury and riding again since.
R's wise I've had an 01, 02 and 04 R1 and wife had 03R6 back then too. both of us have been riding euro's since however I picked up another 02R1 just over a year ago to play with (my favourite R1!).
since I've had it I've put a Penske shock in, flicked the Yoshi it had for a ti arrows pipe, did a 04-06 forks(with revalve), 04-06 wheel/discs swap & GSXR Brembo front calipers and radial MC. it already had a PC3, braided lines and ohlins damper.
I'm in the process of ordering OZ piega forged wheels...and in the future I may do the rear caliper/mount and aftermarket discs.
you may ask why with such an old bike....well, I'm building the bike I want....awesome road engine with awesome handling...and no gadgets.
so...if any of you's have an 02-03 with forged rims....gimmy a squiz.....here's mine ATM..
Cheers,
Dean
