Marchesini Wheels - To grace my SV or not...

We want pics, we want pics...

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.


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...)

single sided

So you already don't need the standard one then.

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.
