FS BIMOTA SB8 Marchesini Magnesium Wheels NIB

Please see my add in the Parts For Sale section of this website for complete details.

I have one new set of Racers Gold Marchesini Magnesium Wheels to fit the BIMOTA SB8 models .

These are real "RACERS GOLD" anodized and are not painted nor cold powder coated.

Last set of Racers Gold and last set of Marchesini wheels made for these BIMOTA models.

Please read my add for complete details

These are the same wheels the BIMOTA factory WSB SB8 used to win the WSB race at Philip Island in Australia as ridden by Anthony Gobert.

The famous Moto Corse SB8R also has the same wheels on it.

The wheels are now on USA EBAY auction.

You can search either Marchesini and/or BIMOTA to find them. Info and pics included.

thanks

They could be adapted to fit, but they would not just bolt right on.

I think that the rear axles sizes are different on the 2 bikes. this would simply need changes of the bearings, seals, collars and/or spacers. If you give me your rear axle diameter I can check this for you.

The front wheel; I think that the axles are different sizes . And if I remember correctly the SB6R speedo pick up is a mechanical one at the front axle.....I dont know this as a fact so just look as see. The speedo pick up for the SB8R/SB8RS is off the front sprocket.

Any wheel shop could adapt them for you. Ive had this type of thing done on a number of my bikes in the past.

For example; if your axles are smaller in diameter you can either have sleeves made to get the wheels to fit, or change the bearing, seals, and such.

If you can move a front speedo pick up to another location, that would be one way to adapt the front....or have the front wheel hub adapted to use your existing speedo pick up.

Look closely at your bike and get back to me.

If you email me I can send you close up pictures of the whhel hubs.

I think that the front and rear brake rotors on your bike will bolt on. You will need a 5 bolt Marchesini rear sprocket ( if you need one in 520 I have both a 39T and a 40T....and i can give that to you if you buy the wheels).

Anything like wheel adaptations can be done. It will take a little time and money to get them to work but not to bad.......it all depends on how mechanically inclined you are.....and a good wheel shop can help alot.

For example; I had a set of Marchesini mag wheels adapted to one of my bikes and it only cost me $200 USD at a local wheel repair shop to get it to work.

Since both the SB6R and SB8R/SB8RS use similar Antera wheels OEM/stock, it should be possible......easier than getting a wheel made for a different brand to fit ( and Ive done that too...).

Here is my email and phone #

fitting SB8S wheels to a 6R should be fairly painless. Wheels made for other brands(rear Wheel) are extremely hard to adapt due to the inboard rotor set up in the Bimota's. Cant go from 6R to 8 as easy because the wheel itself would need to be machined to fit the bearing for much bigger axle. Bushings are very easy.
