Borrani rims
Borrani rims
Does anybody out there know the significance of the 4777 stamped on Borrani rims? I’ve got access to a Guzzi rim that has all the same numbers as. Ducati rim except instead of 4777 it’s stamped 4845. Is that just a number denoting the marque it’s going to be fitted to?

Lumpy,
I see no one has replied to you yet so here goes.
The four digit numbers (4777 etc.) on the Borrani was an internal code number that they used to identify which manufacturer, and on which model the rim was going on and whether it was front or back.
In your case the 4777 was used on the front of 750SS and 900SS Ducati with disc brakes.
The 4845 rim was used on the front Moto Guzzi v1000 (1979?) with disc brakes.
These codes corresponded to how and at what angle the dimples were drilled for the spokes based on what hubs and brake configuration (disc or drum) would be used.
It's possible that the 4845 could be used on the Ducati as long as the spoke angles and number of spokes are the same.
Just because the four-digit number is different doesn't necessarily mean that the rim is drilled differently.
If Moto Guzzi and Ducati used the same spoke angles/hubs and number of spokes for the front disc brake, then they could interchange.
Hope this helps

I have no freaking idea how I got three posts up here.
Maybe a moderator can get rid of two of them. I can't.

Re: Borrani rims
Alright alright I get the message..........haha. Thanks for the reply Baddean, not sure what happened there. I have that exact same issue if I send a friend an article off Quora via SMS. It will replicate it 3 times every time but only to him.
The wheel has long since sold. It was on FleaBay, was a complete wheel and had what appeared to be the same hub as found on a bevel drive Ducati. Was a little unsure if Guzzi`s used same rim, hub, spoke pattern as Ducati. It was an international sale and with shipping thrown in the mix it would have been an expensive exercise had it not fit.
