marchessini forged

Been laying on my side in the middle of the road more than once. Side. Back. Face down : )

Keep calling people thieves then when someone outta the blue hits you upside the cranium with a aluminum baseball bat ask yourself why in the world did that happen?

All my troubles are of my own making. They arise outta my self...

stolen from the factory b4 they were finished. That’s a good model to follow.

what does rhyme with dump truck? I was looking for a pic of a septic vacuum truck cause it’s full of dumps

Turn the P upside down and replace the TR with a F

Or you can just say ‘truck’ for short

I shoulda stole them before they put machining grooves on every square inch : )

I might be a dumb fuxk I just found a new project

I could build a motor for that that prolly wouldn’t make 170 at the tire but it would have lots of torque. Lots...

You don’t like your 1299 - you might not like that thing either?

At least it’s the right color : )

So now I am shopping for track wheels. I was looking at some Marchesini Magnesium wheels (M10RS). I heard back from Motowheels and this is what they had to say.

"Thanks for contacting us. Typically and as we have experienced, the 6.0” rear works perfectly fine in conjunction with using the 190/55/17 tire and even the 200 series tires do fit and clear the swingarm as well. Please note that the only reason they went with narrower wheels was to save money on the wheel and the type of tire that had to be used for their production. We have several customers with the 6.0” rear wheel in their V2. Unfortunately they do not make those in 5.5” for the large axle models."

This weekend im at COTA tracking my R6. I have been talking to the pirelli tire vendor. He is telling me that the 200/55 is just a better tire than the 190. If you compare the 5.5" rear with a 180/60 vs a 200/55 on a 6" These two setups have the same profile .

Based on that im going to give the 200/55 a shot and go with 6" rear for the V2.

For what its worth my current track bike is a Yamaha R6 with a 180/60 on a 5.5" rear wheel. My R6 is significantly lighter than my V2. In my little brain, it just makes sense that the heavier more powerful V2 will work well with the 200/55 on a 6" wheel.

Do you like the 10 spoke better?

I prefer the 9

Color is disgusting but the design is so sick

Bet they are strong for 13.5 pound set of wheels?

Could always spray paint em silver : )
