Anyone know exactly what wheels these are, Thought they were z1000, but they are 6 bolt and the rib on spokes is offset not in centre.

I think CMA made some after market alloys for the zed that looked like that.

Ta, will check it out, I've been trawling through loads of pics but not found one yet, url links appreciated..

they may be motomartin wheels. have a look at mine on the projects page

They do look similar, Is the rib on spokes offset or central, can't tell in pic, I'll have to dig bike out and have a good look for cast marks if it ever stops raining, it's completely buried in my shed at moment.

Whats the history of your bike? parts of it look very familiar to me,back in the eighties I drilled about four sets of brake discs for friends with 900,s whils I was working at British aerospace, pattern on yours looks exactly the same,might just be coincidence,just curious
Nice looking bike by the way.

What about lester wheels think thats how you spell it

Only know it lived in Kent/dartford for at least 10 years, earliest tax disk I have is 1989 in Sidcup.(I know their names/address'), not sure before that, It then went up to a guy in Bury in May 2006 (bought it with rose tint' specs), who sold it to me a month later when he got frightened of the work needed.
If it was you who drilled the disks, you did a great job..

Only Lesters I remember had 2 ribs on each spoke..
Still not 100%....

No they definatly are not Lesters , I have a pair of them waiting to be polished up and fitted to my z1a . you are right they have an H section spoke.
Incidentally does any one know how wide a rear lester alloy should be?

Still a mystery , need to hunt some early Cma catalogues
