Find some S4 wheels - I've seen S4 wheels pop up on eBay regularly and Jim at Bike Enders has them in from time to time too. 900S, 800S 750ssie 3 spokes (although the 750 rear is a 4.5" rim) will also fit because I used them for a while until I got some more 5 spokers.

Phil - does your bike have the underslung rear caliper?

Don't think S4 wheels will fit they have 25 axles?

Well there must be some variability in them then cos I have two! And they fit. As do ST4 wheels. I guess Ducati had been playing with spare parts bin!

Our latest advertisers seem to have some 5 spoke MArchi's

Thanks Frank. I have contacted them about these wheels.

It seems I'm having a similar problem. I've gor a 900ss ally swing arm (in the 600ss frame) but the rear wheel is a later addition with a 25mm bearing (my spindle it 17mm).

Does anyone know if it's possible to just replace the wheel bearings from 25 down to 17?

Cheers

Yes you can the bearings are approx 2mm wider which isn't a prob you just have to adjust the external spacer's slightly. Its what I have done with mine.

As Phil says the answer is yes
replace the existing original fitment bearings which are

75162.2566 = 6005 2RS C3 47 X 25 X 12

with 6303 2RS C3 bearings which have the dimensions 47 X 17 X 14

As Phil pointed out they are 2mm wider but have the same Outside Diameter and will fit the 17mm spindle

Yep, sounds like it! Could be a bit pot luck then.

Thanks for all the tips and help gentlemen.
