I have already seen a NOS M1R recently sold on ebay by Ian Gowanlock.
I think the auction closed to the half of the price.
No matter, that seller has got very many interesting stuff.
I think any Paso owner would desire such rims.

Is it possible to get anymore suitable tires to those rims? :smoke:

you have the same choice/problems as with the standard Oscams.
As those Marvics are red and not gold, the rear rim should be 4.25" if I remember well.
The ones with a 5.00" rear are gold colour and came from the early 851s.

Those 16" Bimota rims are quite rare.

That was me who won those forks!......I got them for AUD$710 which at the time (July09) was not much more than US$500......brand new :o They were for the 907 paso with 300mm discs, Ian Gowanloch kindly offered to replace the stanchions with the shorter ones from an 851 as I told him I wanted it for a TT2 bike I was building.....top bloke!

I have now got two sets of M1R's waiting to be put on a bike, the other set I had bought earlier on ebay were for the 851 with 320mm discs. I see the ones on ebay at the moment are for the 750/906 paso with the F08 calipers.......not really for the 851 as is described.

By the way, both sets were new old stock and both sets are leaking fork oil even before I have fitted them to a bike, so I guess the seals perish with time as well as in use.

Cheers

Joe

Well. There are at least two people out there that think the starting price was worth it.
