New Shoes

So I ordered some new wheels.... Marchesini M10RS (Forged Magnesium) in gooooooooooooolllldddddd. Might take some pictures in a week or so once they are fitted.

let us know if its a straight swap with pre-existing components, I read all different things on the web about marchesini pattern cush drives, sprocket, yadda. Shows how much I know about wrenching on bikes

Would like to see them mounted. Congrats

Dayum i excited to see em too! I had a set of those on my aprilia. March's gold is something to behold!

Well it took a while. Shipping to Canada was longer than expected, shipping to me was 2 days after that. I spent yesterday (Friday) taking the rubber off my stock rims and once the Marchesini's arrived I put the new rubber on myself because I have trust issues then I took them down to the only place in town able to balance the rear wheel (because of the size of the hole for the axle/hub) and they balanced them after hours. Front took zero weight and the rear took 1/2oz. I also have some numbers for you gents/gals.

Stock Wheels: Front = 4.225 kg / 9.295 lb, Rear = 5.548 kg / 12.206 lb
M10RS Corse: Front = 2.892 kg / 6.362 lb, Rear = 3.151 kg / 6.932 lb

Stocks = 9.773 kg / 21.501 lb, M10RS Corse = 6.043 kg / 13.294 lb

M10RS are = 3.730 kg / 8.207 lb lighter than stock wheels. The front wheels were weighed with bearings and bearing spacer only.

Marchesini provides front wheel spacers that are necessary because their wheel hub is narrower than the factory wheel. The spacer weights are 33g for the left side and 20g for the right side. The factory spacers are 71g left side and 39g right side. This is negated by the billet spacers required for the brake disks on the Panigale, there are two at 74g each side.

Now for some crude pictures, I will get more when the bike is clean and out in the sunlight. Drumroll.....











Not too bad for $4900 CDN......

The stock wheel weights are for the base model wheels, right?

Not the chicken feet S model wheels?

Correct, these are the weights of the base model wheels. I've only had time for a quick little ride with the new shoes on but it is easier to tip in and turn than my girlfriends ZX6R.

they look great,

I was under the impression they would be the same color as whats on the SL.

very nice.....

Looks terrific! Great choice.

Great choice. I am looking at the same wheels But I'm nervous about Magnisium if I ever ride on the road.
