- - Marchesini Wheels - To grace my SV or not... (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=82351)

We want pics, we want pics... :mrgreen:

Just tried fitting the front wheel on a standard GSXR SRAD spindle,

looks like a perfect fit!!! So at least the wheels'll bolt on.

Next thing to do is t look at the caliper position/spacing.

Sure it should be too much a of a problem. :roll:

As for the rear, I'm not really a big fan of the standard SV swingarm. It show a lot more on my bike seeing as I have the twin underseat rene's fitted.

Going to loo out for a much sexier swingarm - anyone got any ideas? my rear wheels is NOT a side sided affair so the RC30 rear end is out.

hmmmm.... Standard Ducati swingarm? (powdercoated black to match - £60 on ebay...) 8)

Well don't know if your interested but I've got a couple of SRAD bit that I was going to sell when bike season comes back into play. I've got a damaged front wheel (needs taking to motoliner) and a set of standard discs. - Keep an eye out in the for sale section ;)

How much do you want for the discs are they ok and have no movement on the bobbins???

Someone on SV Rider is fitting a CBR600F one just now, only needs one lug welded on apparently, and it fits the look of the bike better... Or R6 has been done, with a lot more work, but personally I didn't think it looked right. You could buy Dirtydog's SV off him and use his JMC swingarm ;)

Did think about that myself, if only I had a spare £1400 and sometime...

But I'm not 100% sure that the JMC goes. It is better than the standard, don't get me wrong. I think the standard swing arm ruins the look of the SV, you've got a lovely tubular frame married to a box section swing arm. I've been looking at the arms of other bikes for a while now trying to find something that would go, but haven't seen anything that keeps the curves of the frame. The closet is the single sided, RC/ Ducati but I'm sure fitting this would be a bit of a job - but it has been done. Other than that I'm sure I once saw a Triumph with a tubular swing arm, but can't for the life of me remember what model it was.
