Hi,

I stumbled across a set of replica Volans and wondered if anyone knows of a retailer that offers these within the UK?

As other posters have ruefully discovered, all alloys are not created equal.
Some inexpensive and replica wheels are made from a softer alloy that will bend far too easily, resulting in either expensive repair or even more expensive replacement.

The safety aspects of a bendy alloy for the hard-charging 850R owner are too horrendous to contemplate.

The best way to get Volans at less than the £300+ a dealer will ask is check out the club web site for secondhand real deals.
