They came via Brian Crichton, a former editor at Classic Bike Magazine. He had a friend who owned these, and the friend owed him a favour, so Brian sent them to me -- for free! They are made by Bill Selby (a racer from the 1950's-60's, and he owned a shop in Doncaster), and are specifically for the SuperHawk. You'd be hard-pressed to find another set.

Here is a little clip with Bill Selby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oQvinpMU2E

Are yours by Bill Selby as well? What are the ones you have?

I doubt it. People wouldn't give them away if there was...... :-)

They are probably one of those "go faster" goodies that actually slows the bike down.....

Lee just dropped off the wheels -- I'm sorry, but I think if the Guggenheim ever does that exhibit 'The Art of the Motorcycle' again, these wheels will have to be included. Don't know about the rest of the bike though!
