Thanks boss, I try.

Here's the measurements.

Overall length = 9.220"
Axle diameter = 0.667"
Threaded section on either end is M16x1.5 at 1.020" long each including the chamfer up to the axle diameter (0.667')
Center section length between M16 threads 7.180"

The large nuts on either end are as follows
27mm hex that is approx 0.295" long
Overall length is 1.700"
The captured section is 0.944" diameter at 1.405" long.

My actual measurements were taken from a 1978 KZ1000A2 front axle. Hope this helps. Don't be afraid to ask if something doesn't make sense.

Makes good sense AND it's the size that I need to mount my 1300 wheel to my Police front end without any machining or bearing swap/alterations. Nice. I'm off to Ebay, unless you'd want to sell that one ?

Thanks for the response, much appreciated !

Send me a pm with a fair price and I'll let you know. Include your shipping info, so I can get a shipping quote. Do you need the speedo drive, and the spacer as well? One thing that I was holding on to it for was to sort out the gear ratio in the speedo drive in comparison to my GSXR unit. I can accelerate that process if necessary.
