So I picked up a set of Marchesini wheels cheap, had them anodized in gunmetal, they look pretty sweet.
Issue is fitment - they were off of an R6 - was told years 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 R6 R6R R6S R1 would fit and after reading the compatibility chart and the wheel swaps done, assume it would be straightforward.
I have not tried to put them on yet or tear my bike down but just by looking the bearings are definitely different and I would assume the axles as well.
The bearings look specific to Marchesini as far as I can tell. Maybe all I need is an R6 axle, but then not sure if that is compatible with the FZ6. It also came with a cush drive and there is a bearing in that as well. The FZ6 bearing are small in the front and larger in the rear. I had the bearings pressed out for the anodixing and can reuse as they are in good shape.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Here is a pic of the wheels.
