996 with a 999 swingarm 4 Attachment(s) Only just seen this on a USA forum from sometime ago too, so the original is probably long gone and all I can find is the pictures. However, I'm impressed - a lot of work for what I'm guessing is only a marginal improvement over the original but it looks good: |
Makes it look like a cagiva mito. Not my bag, now a 1098 swingarm.. That would look good. |
You wouldn't draw a set of specs on the Mona Lisa 'cos you thought she might be squinting a bit...........would you? Ducati did experiment with a double sided arm on the wsbk machines in Foggy's day but didn't feel the need to go down that route. The single sider didn't stop them winning a boat load of races and titles spread over a decade. What next, a 999 bodykit on a multistrada?..............hmm maybe that would be an improvement:lol: Ray. |
A fairly cheap way of getting a Corse length arm as the 999 arm is the same length as the Mag arms for the 748 to 998 series I see they didn't make use of the speed sensor fitment |
Why would anyone fit a beautiful thing like a T9 swingarm in old piece of carp like a 996?:rolleyes: |
Blimey I was going to do that to my race bike - reason being it's easier to set the suspension up when you change the rear sprocket, you don't have the calculate the ride height due to arc change of the hub. |
It would have looked better with the later type arm.As it is,i don't like it! |
That arm does look very small with so much space around it! I'm not a fan of that. The single-sider was one of the best features of the 916 line. |

That's quite interesting that ... not for a 996 (looks ugly) but I am thinking about doing a project with a Multistrada engine / 996 chassis and I would want the late 749/999 swingarm. Looks like it could be a straightforward fit then. Does anybody know how straightforward or not the fit would be around the swingarm mounting points? Multistrada engine should be OK to fit with the 748/996 frame (as it uses pretty much the same swinger as standard) I don't know though how a 749/999 swinger would fit in a 748/999 frame though. I would assume that much complexity would be thrown in around the exhaust though. Most definitely a custom jobbie that would have to be. Was also considering the Aprilia Mille swingarm. Does anybody know how straighforward the fit would be with one of those?? I would think that the whole suspension linkage would be affected so not too keen on the option anymore p |
This is the one that I like - the attention to detail is superb and the pictures tell a great story: http://www.ducatisti.co.uk/forum/duc...ect-748-a.html |
