what are these parts????

[Anonymous]

just bought up a gs 1000 road racer......wow what a neat bike.......but it has set really neat aftermarket wheels, 6 spoke,cast auilm, only markings are "made in italy" "for compition use only" "not for hi way use" "and "e.p.m." or "l.p.m." the casting is a little hard to readthere is a casting date of ealy '83 on them.
are these "marchesni" wheels....spelling?????

they take stock brake disks,and are a 16 up ft and a 18 in the out back

also on the ft forks,it looks kile the stock caliper hangers have been machined off and these bolt on adjusable caliper hangers are on it.....

please see picks http://photos.yahoo.com/spazman_77 and there are some other motorcycle pics there......

please email me spazman_77@yahoo.com with any info...

They look very similar to the Lester wheels I have.

I'll have to take a close look and see where they were made.
I thought mine were stamped England or Great Britain.

I have a different bracket for mounting the discs, mine are cast iron for the front. It's just an extension on the hanger.

Spazman - I think E.P.M. was the precursor to Marchesini although I think they became "Teknomag" first... It's likely these wheels are actually magnesium and may not be the best thing for street riding. They should be lighter than Lester or Morris mags. You might want to have them tested for cracks before you use them either on the street or track. Very cool though! How about pictures of the rest of the bike?

Thanks,

Jim

Could also be Campagnola. Look at the front on this bike.

Did a little checking and EPM means exactly that, they are EPM wheels. EPM stills looks to be in business today. Ask Bert Patterson what's on his Mille. Could be EPM.

The rotors and calipers look like stock '83 and up 700/750 stuff. Looks like a homemade sleeve to mount the calipers on.

if the holders......

if the holders are shop done, they are very nice..........a good machinist could turn the old monting bosses off the forks and build the sleeves....is a first class job.........
