Author Message   Whitetrashxb Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 11:38 am:        matching pulley too...   Blackm2 Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 11:51 am:        I believe those were also an optional set of PM wheels with a matching pulley. I came across an S1 with 6 spoke PM wheels in Austin a few years back. I tried to get it just for the wheels. Guy ended up selling for less than I offered.

These are the heaviest of the other BUELL WHEELS which were CASTALLOY(AUSTRAILIA) and MARCHESINI(ITALY)... (Message edited by buellistic on February 03, 2016)   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 12:21 pm:        Thanks Lafayette. Actually Marchesini is Italian and Cast Alloy the Australian company. Buell switched to Cast Alloy about the same time Harley bought Cast Alloy to keep it from going under, since they supplied HD all their cast wheels.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 01:26 pm:        A couple years back there was a post with pictures from all the pm wheels they used for the early buells. Whitetrashxb is that your new S1 purchase?   Whitetrashxb Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 01:36 pm:        i wish!   Hootowl Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 01:55 pm:        I've never seen 5 spoke PMs on a Buell before. They sure look like PMs, but likely never came as a stock option on a Buell.   Lakes Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 02:02 pm:        Ross you need to go back & look at how Buellistic Spelt the country of manufacture of MARCHESINI it is not Australia there is no L in Buellistic's   Blackm2 Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 02:57 pm:        That's because he is correcting Buellistic. He didn't "spelt" it wrong. Cast Alloy was out of Australia.   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 03:01 pm:        The Factory option PMs were a slanted version of PM Chicane wheels, which PM made as an aftermarket option for a variety of brands. PM made many more styles with the "split spokes" that the wheels above and Buell option PM wheels shared. Someone who owned or owns the S1 above simply bought a set of PMs through a retailer other than Buell, to get that particular style.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2016 - 03:22 pm:        http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/293316.html
