1098 (plain jane 1098 not the Ohlins) forks are 53/53mm so you'll need the 53mm SM triple and spacer for the lowers (.5mm thick sleeve basically) I think motowheels sells them.
If you get Ohlins 1098S forks, forget the stock lower, but enough material from what I heard to go out the required 56mm but maybe someone has done it.
Axle.. 1098 axle and bolt with (1) 1098 spacer and (1) monster spacer worked for me perfectly.
Brakes... with stock wheel, you'll need 15mm offset 6-bolt rotor or 5mm spacers between stock brakes and wheel (I went with 15mm offset Braking rotors)
Your stock calipers will work

perfect thanks man, i was considering a new bike, more power etc for tw up riding, but i think a stiffer rear spring, 1100 rise in the back and this 1098 set up with be perfect, and little more ajustability and higher seat will be nice for the two of us |

Hey, calling Raux.
I've been wanting to paint the lettering on my calipers also. I was going to do a light sanding with a sanding block so only the ends of the letters are sanded and then use a small artist brush to put Urethane on the very ends. Is that how you did it or did you find a better method?

OK thanks. I have some of the Dupli-Color paint in Duc red left over from when I painted my headlight trim and sprocket carrier. It's a perfect match.  My only problem is I'm 54 years old and a steady hand was about 25 years ago.  |

well I've put enough miles on it for things to start vibrating loose. Kickstand front bolt was loose. Noticed it at the gas station and rode home, put it on the rear stand to tighten... one more ride and it would have been gone...
time to check every bolt again. Need to buy a torque wrench.

 Aluminum is not a very good material for a dash mount. Mounting tabs broke at 100mph today. need to remake a template and get it done in steel.
