Title: Front axle compatability
Post by: Pedro-bot on August 09, 2010, 02:09:50 PM
Need a front axle for the following:
'99 750 Monster with upgraded '07 S2R 1K forks
with 2006 Paul Smart wheels and dual 2 pot calipers from SC
;D
Will a 2007 Monster S4Rs front axle work?

That "sounds" like the right combo...but...mix and matching parts some times has it's surprises.

Oh yeah, you'll need the spacers from the SC or S4Rs too.

Possibly, but the S4Rs has Ohlins forks, so it may be different.

I think the setup you need is a 25mm front axle from any Monster with adjustable forks, other than S4Rs or S4Rt, and the PS front axle spacer.

But as Darkstar said, you're mixing and matching, so it may not be that simple.

I guess take this for what it is.  TPO's ebay auction states that the below are using the same axle:

Thanks for the help guys.  [thumbsup]
This is exactly why I love this site. Every once in a while it's nice to have others do the thinking for you.  :P  

I'll update this thread when I'm done mixing and matching.  [beer]

i can tell you that the 749/999 axle mentioned above will not fit with a monster wheel/spacers.
