  2. No I don't , take the tyres off and weigh them if you need a tyre change ? Tyres add weight also If you are looking for unsprung weight?

  7. I do not know. Generally i am considering forged alu like oz, marchesini, dymag or even original r model or carbon like bst. But carbon are much more expensive.

  8. As a rule forged wheels are about 25% lighter.

  11. I got some Marchesini forged wheels off a HM1100S to fit to my M1100S.

    The front wheel is identical to a 749.

    Measured weights - with 120/70 Supercorsa, no discs:
    Standard 8.45kg
    Forged 7.35kg
