Marchesini Wheels - To grace my SV or not... - SV650.org

06-01-07, 08:41 PM

Just got a pair of Marchesini Wheels from a Ducati 999,

Thought about putting them on my streetfightered SV (See Avatar),

Reckon they would look ace, Got a GSXR USD front end conversion at the moment and there isn't anything wrong with the look - but the marcehesinis would look better. (Anyone got photoshop?)

Just not sure if they'd be wasted in the SV? It'd be more a styling cue than a really noticeable peformance mod (though I know it would).

If I don't use them on the SV then I'm also building a GSXR750, maybe they'd be better on that?

What do you guys think?

No, don't. Because I've been planning the same swap and you'll steal my thunder

Which ones have you got? The 5-spokes or the multis?

Oh aye, as for the choice- no reason you can't build them to work in either, or both, with spacer swaps.

ah...

Thought I'd hear from ya!

Got the 5-into-10 spoke,

Keep me updated with you progress and maybe we could work it out together,

My SV is great fun at the moment (though no in this weather) If the wheels'll make it better then I'm all for it!!

Ter, I stopped being surprised ages ago. He is like that mad scientists you hear about. There's always something brewing inside his head

Personally if I had a GSXR I was building as well, I'll use them on that. Depends on how far you are taking that(GSXR) I guess.

..but the truth is I think they'll look ****e on both bikes and you are better of giving them to me as one of your charity deeds for the year

Yeah but I have to finish the loft conversion first

I've just got a rear just now, and it's still not arrived- 5 spoker in Monster fitment. It's the rear that's going to be the hassle, but SV arms are pretty spacious. I love the look of the swooping 5-spokes, I think there's a reason Marchesini, Marvic and Dymag all make wheels that look basically the same- they know it looks best

Mmmm Marchesini... if it looks good do it. Dont often see them on an SV so its going to look good. Got any pics?
