Title: Rear axle slider fitment question Post by: M900GP on June 11, 2019, 03:08:31 PM Will a set of Speedymoto rear axle sliders for a standard 1098 (not R or S) fit on other Duc single-sided swingarms? I understand the hubs are bigger on the 1098/1198 than on the smaller-hub bikes, so the wheels won't swap, but I didn't know if that also ruled out the axle sliders. Oddly I didn't get a very clear answer from Speedymoto, so I thought I'd see if anyone here knows.
Thanks. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Rear axle slider fitment question Post by: Speeddog on June 11, 2019, 07:17:40 PM The ID of the 'large axle' is quite a bit bigger, so I'd say that's a hard no.
Title: Re: Rear axle slider fitment question Post by: M900GP on June 12, 2019, 12:40:48 AM That's what I was thinking as well. The word from Speedymoto wasn't that clear, not sure why. Thanks!
Title: Re: Rear axle slider fitment question Post by: Speeddog on June 12, 2019, 07:37:55 AM IIRC, Speedymoto was absorbed by Motowheels a few years back.
So that may have effected the info you're getting. About 2/3 of the way down this page: https://motowheels.com/b-32130-891476-speedymoto.html Title: Re: Rear axle slider fitment question Post by: M900GP on June 12, 2019, 09:13:41 AM Thanks, that helps. I wasn't aware there was a difference between an early-production 2007 1098 and anything after that, in terms of swingarm ID/OD from one side to the next. That shouldn't have filtered into what I was asking about with the Speedymoto folks, but maybe it did. Anyway, all square now, thanks again.

"Special Note! *Early 07'1098's have an axle that measures 42.7mm on both left and right sides. Later models 2007 1/2 and newer have a thicker left side axle with a 40mm ID and the right side is 42.7mm. If you have a 2007 please double check your left side axle before you order.* " Big WTF on that, news to me. Got a complete hub off of a '15 MTS12, axle's 43mm straight thru. |
