Author Message   Zenbiker Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 12:27 am:        I have the option to run either, what is the preferred wheel for a classic (stock looking) S2, the Marchesini or slotted PM? Just interested in everyone's thoughts. Thanks!   Rex Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 01:13 am:        both look good. I think the pm is heavier, right?   Rex Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 01:13 am:        One s2 has the pm wheels, the other has the marchesini style.   Jumbo_petite Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 08:26 am:        Th PM wheels were an option. I think it depends on the color of the bike. On the Red and White bikes I prefer the stock Marchesini wheels. On the Black Sapphire Pearl and Yellow bikes I prefer the polished PM wheels. I have not seen enough of the Parkway Blue bikes to have an opinion at this time. My BSP bike has the PMs. (Message edited by jumbo petite on March 18, 2012)   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 10:22 am:        I like the Marchi's. PM's - at least, *clean* PM's - look too much like chrome for my tastes and I love the anti-chrome look of the tubers.   Buellish Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 10:58 am:        Hands down the Marchesini. "I think the pm is heavier, right?" The Marchesini is the lightest. The Castalloy is next. The PM's are the heaviest.   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 11:17 am:        PM wheels are nice HARLEY-DAVIDSON "CHROME" type wheels which are the heaviest of the three wheels ...   Court Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 01:09 pm:        For a "classic stock looking S2" . . . you'll want White Marchisini. But . . . all those options are nice, genuinely true to production and work well.   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 01:40 pm:        "AND" they are the lightest !!!   Court Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 02:55 pm:        >>>"AND" they are the lightest !!! But . . we are talking grams here (you'll recall the piece I did for Battle2Win that detailed the weights) that will never make a bit of perceptible difference on an S2.   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 03:14 pm:        "YES", Court "i" read all your articles in Battle2Win and still have every issue and pay attention when you speak !!!   Court Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2012 - 06:25 pm:        Hahahaha . . . well take it all with a grain of salt. I'd wager you know much more about the mechanicals than I do. I just remember the discussions and taking the wheels and wiggling them at Reg Kittrelle's request.   Jayvee Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 12:29 pm:        One can say grams, but the front wheel only was 1 pound 8 ounces difference between Marchesini and PM. The rear PM is 7.5 ounces heavier, and 1/2 inch wider.   Fahren Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 04:37 pm:        Parkway Blue S2T with Marchesini's. Awesome.   Fahren Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 04:39 pm:
