The rear Marchesinis on !!
 

Thought you boys might like to see my new 5 spoke magnesium marchesini wheel fitted ! Only got the sprocket to go on now for the corse carrier (Rich at louigi moto found DP still make the custom fit lightweight one for...(cough) £60 !..so going for that rather than the talon custom made route).

Also located a front mag in gold, so only dilemna now is wether to get them matched up in gold or the lovely satin black of the rear (which I think ill go for)..any opinions on colour choice..the standard gold mag colour is sexy too !!!

Cheers

Heres a pic of a 888 SP0 with gold 5 spokes to help you out with dispensing your advice on colour choice for me !!!

Cheers

NAt,

All looks very nice, I have seen a couple in Gold, which I like, but satin black would be different and in keeping with the original wheel options on some of the SP versions.

Rgds, Rob

Looks fcuking gorgeous! I'd go with stealthy satin black everytime. Gold's a bit too gaudy.

Gloss black also looks good, but makes the bike look more showy than hi-tech.

Top purchase

very nice natt.
I think that these would look pretty good too, the real thing:D http://www.ducati-gowanloch.com/imag...rvic_black.jpg

Looks like you've already decided - has to be black (and keep you're eyes open for a set of those marvics!).

Andrew

Nice work Nat,

I love the gold on my front Marchi - but I must admit the Black looks awesome on your beauty!

cool Nat:cool:

Why are the Marvics at Gowanloch so cheap? Are they super difficult to fit? Different brake spacing, cush drive and all that?

Rgds,

Rob

Well..the DP rear sprocket arrived today and dare I say it..its quality may go some way to justify its £60 price tag !!! Looks hard anodised with the logo stamped in ensuring its should stay on for maximum pose value :D

More good news..turns out the front mag wheel Rich has located for me is a brand spanker too ! Roll on the fun & games trying to get it to fit !!!

Cheers

rob, yes to your questions, been there and aborted project marvic wheels.


robin

Robin, Thanks.

Nat, What was the rear wheel part number for? It's not an SS or a Monster, well not as far as I can see in the Duc Perf cats that I have.

Rgds,

Rob

Rob

Dont take that part number as gospel...as it was all ex dealer stock I bought it may have been in the wrong box thinking about it (I seem to remember the marchesini I sold to flanker had an odd part number on it).

That aside..these wheels are no longer available new (havent been for some time) anyway mate according to a dealer I spoke too.

Cheers
