Trusty 850RI've got a set of Volans, and a set of Titans. Question is, which ones should I keep for my 855R?
The purist in me says keep the Volans, keep it original (a little lower and played with under the bonnet, but otherwise original); though I've always loved the Titans. Can't work out if I'll get more pissed off with having the slightly uglier wheels or not having the correct wheels.
Which would you keep?

Thanked 43 Times in 34 PostsBlimey! Answers that one lol.
I may be old but I'm as impatient as an 8yr old to get the thing back. Comes (soon hopefully) back as a manual with a few respiratory mods.
...and clearly it keeps its Volans...Forgotten what the thing looks like! Tuning taking a little longer than expected. Gonna be a belter when it's back though.

Thanked 43 Times in 34 PostsVolans it is then :-)
T5 Pete has first refusal on the Titans. If he doesn't want them, there'll be a set of 4 Titans with good tyres going up for sale. Just need to work out a price.Forgotten what the thing looks like! Tuning taking a little longer than expected. Gonna be a belter when it's back though.
