Title: 848 to m696 fork swap axle/rotor spacer source Post by: Utekineir on May 08, 2012, 09:38:03 AM Hi,
Have read the threads on the swap. Is there a vendor out there that has made/will make the spacers for front rotors and axle? Or does anyone have the specs for the rotor spacers? Thanks, Title: Re: 848 to m696 fork swap axle/rotor spacer source Post by: Link on May 08, 2012, 10:48:51 AM Hi, Have read the threads on the swap.

Thanks, You can buy 2.5mm brembo spacers from AF1 racing in Texas, you would need 4 of these your looking at 5mm offset for each rotor. Or you can have some made. But instead of spending money on spacers spend about another $300.00 and get some Galfer rotors with the correct 15mm offset and you will loose 2lbs of weight from your front wheel plus you get great looking rotors.

Having a bit of trouble finding the gaffers in a set for $300 though looking closer to $250-300 each. http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=2421 (http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=2421) These should be the spacers mentioned. Honestly think i'd rather that route since it would retain easy rotor replacement down the road. Was leaning toward changing the bike till i pulled up the ins premium change from m696 to an 848 or panigale. 1 year worth of the premium increase i could rework the 696 to be perfect for my uses.... 30 with a clean record, 400ish a year to 2400 range progressive was quoting me. F that, killed my sbk itch real quick. Title: Re: 848 to m696 fork swap axle/rotor spacer source Post by: Link on May 08, 2012, 11:53:35 AM Thanks for info.

F that, killed my sbk itch real quick. I was figuring your gonna spend about 100-150 on those shims so another 300 would get you to about 450. If you wanna save some coin source some 5mm or 4.5mm aluminum stock and make your own, there real simple to do I did 2 and they came out pretty good.. too bad I threw them away or I'd let you have em.......trust me though the wave rotors make a significant change in the bikes steering and it's all good ! I've seen guys spend 1.5K on a carbon wheel for about the same weight savings. Good luck with nyour mod post up results when done.

Have a drill press here, i've redrilled auto rotors for a different bolt pattern with good success before. I was worried about having the spacers drilled properly not to be off center weight wise. Figure theres a lot less forgiveness with a motorcycle rotor than an automotive rotor. |
