Title: Replacement front wheel Post by: kuzemko on May 21, 2012, 05:44:54 AM So, I'm not the most mechanically savvy guy around, but I understand basics. I have a 2010 Monster 696. My front wheel has a dent in the rim. I've been looking through eBay to find a replacement wheel, but of course none being sold are the same model year. I found:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ducati-99-750ss-FRONT-Wheel-Brembo-17-x-3-5-/110739236298?hash=item19c892a5ca&item=110739236298&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ducati-99-750ss-FRONT-Wheel-Brembo-17-x-3-5-/110739236298?hash=item19c892a5ca&item=110739236298&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr) but and it says it is a 17x3.5 wheel. Looking up the specs of mine, it says the same. Is there anything else I'm missing on this? Are there more details I should look into or does this look like it should be a clean swap? Otherwise, this seems to be a decent price for a replacement wheel (way better than the $1200 the local shop quoted me... what a joke). Thanks for any heads up on the matter. -Bob Title: Re: Replacement front wheel Post by: zooom on May 21, 2012, 06:19:48 AM WELL...for one...bolt pattern of what you need for the rotors might be different...

Title: Re: Replacement front wheel Post by: kuzemko on May 21, 2012, 08:17:27 AM I would get my wheel repaired, the problem is that it would run me about $100 more with shipping and such. I didn't think about the rotor bolt pattern, thanks for the info/reminders. I'll keep an eye out and see about repairing it still. Find final prices and such. Thanks again for the help.
