Author Message   S2tbolt Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2016 - 10:03 pm:        Help needed to get my beloved 1995 S2 Thunderbolt with Marchesni wheels back on the road please! I lost the axle spacers during a tire change. Then, my house flooded. HD Dealer says the parts are obsolete and I cannot find replacement parts anywhere. Buell Part Numbers: Right: G0112.3A Left: 41129-94Y Thanks in advance!!! Doug in Baton Rouge   Jefc73 Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2016 - 10:45 pm:        these what you need Doug?   S2tbolt Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2016 - 11:00 pm:        Those look right Jeff. The right side is longer than the left side. Do you want to sell those?   Jefc73 Posted on Thursday, December 08, 2016 - 11:36 pm:        sent you a pm Doug   Screamer Posted on Friday, December 09, 2016 - 04:08 pm:        I have new spacers if you haven't located any.   S2tbolt Posted on Friday, December 09, 2016 - 07:31 pm:        Got some on the way, thanks for the help!   S2tbolt Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 08:58 am:        Got 'em, Thank you Jeff!   Jefc73 Posted on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 12:17 pm:        Awesome. and your welcome.   Williamscottrobertson Posted on Thursday, December 22, 2016 - 10:38 am:        Are the wheel spacers the same between PM and marchesini? I'm going to make the swap and I'm wondering if I can pull the PM spacers and put them in the marchesinis.   Blks1l Posted on Thursday, December 22, 2016 - 03:41 pm:        According to the parts book both wheel brands use the same spacers.   Williamscottrobertson Posted on Friday, December 23, 2016 - 07:47 am:        I'll give them a go then! Thanks!   Tigermann Posted on Friday, December 23, 2016 - 11:13 am:        Also, I remember reading in the Knowledge Vault that PM wheels made before 1997 have a .20 in hub on the brake rotor side and PM wheels made from 1997 on have a .10in hub on the brake rotor side. Older wheels will not bolt up in a 1998 or newer Buell without modification as the caliper mount makes contact with the bearing hub. Use caution when replacing or buying PM wheels regarding manufacture date stamped on the wheel.   Kmbuell Posted on Friday, December 23, 2016 - 01:23 pm:        I've done this swap many times. As with any wheel work, check clearances. That said, I've swapped PM to Marschisini (sp) and late Castalloy to PM from an early S2 and Castalloy to real early PM, like from a RR1200, straight spoke - not Chicane. The last ones are on my daily rider M2, 20,000 miles, no issues. I've always used the spaces the were from the bike. There is one set for wheels that use the speedo drive and a longer one for those that don't. don't think there are more than two sets of spacers.   Easy_rider Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2016 - 11:31 am:        The older PM wheels need what I would term an adapter plate. The diameter of the PM hub is smaller than that of the others. IIRC, there are a different number of bolts used as well.   651lance Posted on Thursday, December 29, 2016 - 01:38 pm:        The "adapter plate" is part of all the pm wheels. They made each wheel in separate sections and they all bolt together to make the complete wheel.   S2tbolt Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2017 - 05:53 pm:        Glad to have my favorite ride back on the road again, Thanks for all the help!
