Author Message   Beachbuell Posted on Tuesday, November 11, 2008 - 10:18 pm:        I'm looking for a pair of matching Marchesini rims (front and rear) for a Tuber project. Please send me an email with pics or post em here. Thanks!   Firstbuell Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 11:19 am:        Hey Beach, I'll be watching responses to your post carefully the only set of Buell-specific Marchesinis I've ever seen was on DustyKat's red-stripe X1 [listed for sale here awhile back] they were sourced thru Mr. Marchesini himself while Dusty was the Buell parts king over at Custom Chrome Inc - with Bimota now owning Marchesini, who knows? I've always wanted a set myself,,,,,,,   Beachbuell Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 04:37 pm:        The early model S1's came stock with them. Thats what I'm really looking for!   Firstbuell Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 05:16 pm:        ah, I see what I have in mind is the current, lacey, 10-spoke design I'd neglected early-Buell lore concerning 3-spoke Marchesinis you'll have an easier time finding your style than I will mine......   Court Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 10:33 pm:        >>>The early model S1's came stock with them. I **think** all S1's came with Castalloy and PM wheels.   Beachbuell Posted on Thursday, November 13, 2008 - 02:33 am:        My friend has a 96 S1. WP forks, PM calipers and Marchesini wheels (notice the M stamp on the wheel blade).   Court Posted on Thursday, November 13, 2008 - 09:53 am:        No doubt that is a Marchesini. They may have been on some of the early S1's. I'd have to go back and go through build sheets to find the VIN where the change was made to Castalloy. Good pic of the wheel. The tough thing to find were spare MARCHESINI stickers and the mushroom plugs.   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, November 13, 2008 - 10:09 am:        The tough thing to find were spare MARCHESINI stickers Don't I know it. I hit my front S2's front wheel with brake cleaner one day (stupid me grabbed the wrong can), and just about wiped all the lettering off. Grrrr. I've been looking around fleabay but haven't found the right shade of blue just yet (white wheels, blue lettering on the decals). I do, however, still have all my mushroom plugs. They're yellowed and pretty crusty looking, but they're all there!   Beachbuell Posted on Sunday, November 16, 2008 - 08:37 pm:        Bump   Brinnutz Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 - 05:06 pm:        How about one of these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MARCHESINI-16-5-REA R-WHEEL-FOR-TUBE-FRAME-BUELL_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_tr kparmsZ66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a10Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_tr ksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem170282070518QQitem Z170282070518QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessorie s
