I haven't been nose to wheel with a Marchesini so I can't compare.

I can say that on my last tire swap, both front and rear, the balance was so close I actually cut the small weight in half.
Bridgestones mounted.

There are final machining marks in the corners of the spoked areas. Some sharp edges to the aluminum to be mindful of. On my well worn 93SS I notice it mostly when the bikes up on stands for TLC.


I'd buy 'em again.

I wish I'd done the Nichols bolts mid season so I could have a better feel for the handling change, but even though it was mid winter, the first ride in the spring my eyes widened, jaw dropped and smile expanded, in that order. GReat mod.

Goldvalve adjustable showas and late model Sachs with proper spring has smoothed out the bumps.

And yes, the schools I took along the way played a big part in my handling of the bike.
