I just done a set of spacers to do a KZ spoke wheel to late 90's ZX7 forks and ended up with 7mm spacers. My ZX6 forks have a much wider brake spacing so like you said, big spacers. Thing is, I know you have 2 sets of those hubs. B)

This is fantastic! I am in love with the wheels. When I started my build I looked for those exact wheels, but the price from Ducati was too high for me for now (approx. $2K for both wheels) and you can't seem to find them used. The other option was Excel wheels for a KTM990 Adventure R. Anyway, excellent work and looking forward to it.

haha yes there is a fork in it.... its a makeshift mono shock mount...

the wheels were just not something i was going to compromise on, after all thets why
we build our bikes, so we can have it just the way we want them!

Even used the wheels were a big chunk of cash but i had to have them.

rite, so i was having a chat to Travis (XA-mont ASF forum) yesterday about my swingarm piviot, sent him through the size i would need and the frame boss size.

next thing i get a message "like this" fuken top bloke(thanks again mate)

all i need to do is weld a plate on the end that bolts to the ST frame where the old shaftie swingarm piviot pins use to bolt in.

looks like a very tidy solution.

can we get a left side shot of your frame where the pivot bolt goes through the frame?
