SV650 Marchesini Possible Production Run

I have convinced Marchesini to do a run of rears for the SV650. Do you guys think there is enough market for them? No machine work required, just a straight fitment using stock brake hanger and caliper. Also would you run mags or aluminum? 1st gen or 2nd?

 

no.http://www.yoyodyneti.com/category.aspx?categoryid=2756&startpage=3

 

One more question would be the size. 17x5 or 17x5.5

 

I would love to have a 5.5" rear Marchesini wheel...how much?

 

You are talking things exclusive to the SV. You should also be posting the question on SVrider, and maybe sport-touring.net.

 

In the 6 years I've been on ST.N...first time I've seen it as a place to post for SV specific things. Nice!

 

Pricing should be the same as current production.

 

Is that the same price I see on yoyo's website then?

 

Those are Marvic not Marchesini. Yes there is history between the two companies but they are no where near the same wheel.

 

Oh yeah.

So how much? Money matters here. Got to convince the wife I should spend it.

 

Oh and for specifics....I would want forged alunimum on a 2nd gen 5.5" in black.

 

PM Sent and I will get retail pricing posted tommorow.

 

If I was going to bother upgrading I'd want a 5.5" forged Magnesium.

 

I've heard the forged magnesium's can be a little um "flexable". If people think a forged mag will be strong enough than that'd be something I'd be willing to think about.

 

Aaronson bought a MARCHESINI or MARVIC rim for our "A" bike on our multi-SV endurance team that we are racing this year.

He knows of these wheels.


Bike #23 (white plates) with the white rear. Not much of a pic, but its there.

'sup Aaron?
MILLER here we come!!

 

You all know there is a SV/GSXR rear rim kit that a guy from SV RIDER makes also?
He was selling them on ebay for $250. You get the rim, the machined spacers and caliper bracket, etc..

I was looking for a link, but gotta go to work.

 

I've never heard that, help me get a little smarter, what are you referring to?

 

You may want to check that, I was under the impression that for the $250 you received the spacer kit, bracket, and machine work to YOUR rim.

I looked into it and went with a F3 rim off Ebay for $75.

I will do some digging.

 

Yeah, could be right. Not exactly sure. :up:

No wheel included but looks like a nice kit!
