actually that's not true, i had a knight 2000 replica with the gullwing steering wheel and i had no problems driving it. and also hasselhoff had no problems driving with it for 4 seasons in the original knight rider series, so why would there be a problem with a similar updated type of steering wheel.Lexicon wrote:The wheel may look cool but it's a big no-no from a safety standpoint not to mention it doesn't work well as far as being practical goes.
I think they mean the airbag and padding part of the safety not the drivability part of the safety.knightprobe89 wrote:actually that's not true, i had a knight 2000 replica with the gullwing steering wheel and i had no problems driving it. and also hasselhoff had no problems driving with it for 4 seasons in the original knight rider series, so why would there be a problem with a similar updated type of steering wheel.Lexicon wrote:The wheel may look cool but it's a big no-no from a safety standpoint not to mention it doesn't work well as far as being practical goes.
If you had a gullwing steering wheel like the Knight 2000, wouldn't you have to have a smaller steering ratio to match? Most cars have more than a 12:1 ratio - this means that, in most cars, you have to make 2.5 full revolutions of the steering wheel before the steering locks in one direction. So from lock to lock, you've got to turn the steering wheel quite a bit. With a conventional steering wheel, this isn't a (major) problem because you have multiple points of contact, facilitating hand-over-hand steering or any other technique that involves shuffling your hands. But with a gullwing steering wheel, quick steering changes would be more difficult. Not impossible, by any means, but definitely more difficult. (This would be why stunt KR cars were fitted with a standard wheel instead of the gullwing wheel.)t.b.77b wrote:I think they mean the airbag and padding part of the safety not the drivability part of the safety.knightprobe89 wrote:actually that's not true, i had a knight 2000 replica with the gullwing steering wheel and i had no problems driving it. and also hasselhoff had no problems driving with it for 4 seasons in the original knight rider series, so why would there be a problem with a similar updated type of steering wheel.Lexicon wrote:The wheel may look cool but it's a big no-no from a safety standpoint not to mention it doesn't work well as far as being practical goes.

try to update this picture with the latest FLAG logo, the one that had been shown in the last episod of KR08. it should look good.Kal-el4 wrote:here's my modded momo wheel from the 08 pilot that I made so it looked like KI2T's old steering wheel
the Knight's head would be the right logo for the steering wheel, as it is the logo of Knight Industries, the corporation that designed and build KITT.Knight007 wrote:try to update this picture with the latest FLAG logo, the one that had been shown in the last episod of KR08. it should look good.Kal-el4 wrote:here's my modded momo wheel from the 08 pilot that I made so it looked like KI2T's old steering wheel
We complained from the promos but the BDP removed the MOMO name from it. After that they complaints pretty much stopped.Diddy1_98 wrote:The one in the pilot was close but people complained about the 'brand' name on it! That seems to be par for the new series.
I would hope so because if you some how didn't see the big attached picture I'd have to suggest seeing an Optometrist.bucksanass1 wrote:I've seen your wheel and like it alot

i think that the new one is an isotta wheel not a momo!Solid Snake wrote:Fyi, the steering wheel used in the series is not stock! It is also a Momo, just a different type.
