999 Front Wheel Help

Discussion in '749 / 999' started by LifeDiablo675, Aug 2, 2017.

  1. Hey guys I'm running. Marchesini Front Wheel from a 999s on my Daytona 675 at the minute

    Is there any way of telling if this is forged or cast before I put it up for sale?

    I've weight it with the full lot
    Brake discs
    Captive spacers
    Bearings
    Metzeler racetech tyre with 32psi

    It's 11kg other then that I have no clue
     
  2. S wheels are not forged.

    Base and S model cast Marchesini front:

    There is a clear difference in the spokes.

  3. That's brilliant, will go double check the spokes.

    The cast lines are there or not.

    Simple answer thank you
