 55 mm is 2.16 in.   2 3/16 is 2.18 in.  I would think that would be close enough.

Don't know if I would want $12.00 quality though.

i have several of their sockets, they work great.

i spoke to someone else, they said that no 55mm works you have to get the ducati specific one. or atleast one made specifically for the 1098/.

It does require a special socket,  speedymoto makes a great one,  although cheaper do exist.

The 1098 rear axle takes 237* lb/ft to torque correctly.   I would want perfect fit if I was doing that,  or risk that big ass nut getting its corners rounded off

I never use 12 pt sockets for the bikes.  They tend to round things.

The 1098 socket is a 12pt nut. a 6pt wont work.
