see it does fit !!!!!!!!!! burnning the midnight oil once again

[nathanhu]

what do you think ? better or not

no point to it .. bit like putting an MV seat unit on 748/9**.... naff

[nathanhu]

tried to put to good use a spare set of 996 wheels , a bit less of a mess about for tyre changes and tyre warmers

[iainzx]

single swinger always looks better than a double sider but probably does not do as good a job as the origional

[Rattler]

....bet it was a pig to do though!!!

[nathanhu]

fitts straight in, only altered the left bush slightly and used the rear tie rod from the 996 and a different spring seat from Öhlins 20mm deaper

Oh,yes.
The designers origionally wanted a single swinger,but Ducati Corse had the final say.Double sided it is then.

[stephens]

It looks MUCH better. As suggested though, would be better with the Corse magnesium job, but can't be beaten for wow factor!

From a performance/handling perspective IMHO it is a step backwards, but in the styling stakes, what a winner.

looks amazing nice job,has it lost weight or has it put on a few pounds,dymags look cool,but not as nice as my blackstone rims.
