Question: Marchesini front wheel, thick collar which side?

[Dr. M]

Maybe it's late, but I can't figger this out. My Marchesini front wheel has a thick collar on one side of the wheel and a thin collar on the other side. I've been studying the K8 service manual and I believe the thick collar would go on the right side. Am I right??? I searched the archives and didn't find any posts on this.

Many thanks in advance.

I haven't posted here in ages; here is what I am trying to get finished by next weekend (and just about done)...
Velocity Racing Stage 1 Turbo with wastegate, boost control, water injection
Brocks clutch kit, pan baffle
PowerCommander PCIII USB
Brocks drag race essential kit
0-6"swing arm stretch (Spencer Cycle)
Marchesini mag wheels

I'll post up pics when it is all finished.

Thanks again.
Steve

If your in front of the bike it goes on the LEFT side and the thin one on the right.

Pictures would be fantastic! Thanks for the offer.

I hope to do a writeup similar to the one I did on my '08 GSX-R 600 which can be found here: Installing Akrapovic Evo 2 exhaust, PCV, AutoTune on a 2008 GSX-R600 : Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycle Forums: Gixxer.com

Thanks

Best I can do and I'm sure after I post these someone will tell me they are in wrong but I have ridden it many times at speed and am still here so it must be ok ?

After looking at it I'm almost thinking the right side one is backwards and should be flipped around so wide lip is on the outside like left side ?

Thanks for the pictures. I ended up answering my own question by studying the obvious (but often overlooked). On the parameter of the rim, Marchesini places its name in beautiful script letters and follows that by a representation of the Italian flag... three blocks of green, white, and red... all of which make up the shape of an arrow pointing in the direction of rotation. DUH!!!!

Sorry to be so dense!
