SS Questions - new style rear footrests + fitting a newer swingarm?

Busy lad - Cheers John, I've been told they are 8mm fitting and 70mm C-2-C for the mounting points - always nice to have it confirmed by someone who know what they are doing of course!

Thanks - F

I converted my 888 to a 25mm axle. Not to difficult and my Mag Marchi's where part of the reason I went that way too.

A bit of machining and and few swapped components from an ST2.

Rgds,

Nice one Rob - I remember we chatted about that once-upon-a-time.

However, a eureka moment just happened - looking at my piccy of my shiney swingarm I'm wondering if I could get 4mm machined off either side of the existing axle slots and simply buy a 25mm axle....Plenty of meat around the caliper plate as well.....I feel a plan coming together

You'll need the slider thingies that slip inside the swingarm too - the ones that bolt to the wheel adjusters. Not sure what you call them - Axle carriers perhaps. ST2 ones are the job as Rob says
