Maybe its just my ignorance but that seems a lot for that considering you dont even get the hub etc.,I'm sure you could pick one up a lot cheaper.
If its a single sider your after you might be better off with a 916 type(or even a triumph one?).

Given my recent reading it seems cheap!

After missing out on yet another rear Marchi to match the five spoke front I already have - I wonder if and how much a single sided conversion might be.

A quick google found a superb looking SV650 in the states with an MV back end but also, a few other Ducati's (but none as early as mine) - it seems that fitting almost anything else involves horrific modifications to almost all the of the rear.

and how neat is this:

As the SS uses a cantilever rear suspension setup and the later monsters use a rocker type setup I can't see the arm pictured fitting the SS, maybe they do another one with the shock mount fitted to the bracing tube, if they do it would be nice if they pictured it, as its a lot of money to spend on something if it doesn't fit.

Gotta say the SV650 looks good and almost "factory" fitted. The single arm looks good on the monster too.

IIRC the engine cases or swing arm needs to the machined in order the swing arm to fit.
